GC Request

Question

Hi team,

Could you please run GC on the only repo in my bitbucket workspace that is larger than 2GB? The repo name starts with "wr".

There are no egregiously large files that I need to remove (nor do I want to), while locally I see:

git count-objects -Hv
count: 1850
size: 898.29 MiB
in-pack: 6765
packs: 1
size-pack: 43.03 MiB
prune-packable: 0
garbage: 0
size-garbage: 0 bytes

So after the GC, the repo size should be down to around 900M. Thank you very much!

Hello @erwenschrondinger and welcome to the Community!

I've triggered a GC on your repository, which managed to reduce its size back to 52MB!

Now that GC is completed, I would highly recommend you have everyone on your team remove their old copies of the repository and do a fresh clone of it. Since the old clones have a dirty history, it's better to delete them, so you don't risk pushing the dangling objects back into your cleaned repository, which would increase its size again.

Thank you, @erwenschrondinger !
