How to find out repository size?

Systemadmin August 28, 2017

We got a couple Projects, with quite a few repositories in some case, and there are also private repositories.

How can i find out the size of each?

(As to check if private ones are used reasonably and what projects are eating up my disc space.)

In Bitbucket Cloud, a repository admin can see the size under "Repository Details" under Settings.

In Bitbucket Server too, you can view it under Settings > Repository Details after clicking on "Retrieve Size Details".

Retrieve Size Details, where is this?

Mary Slocum July 12, 2018

If you are in the Repository settings, make sure that you have selected the top/first item for Repository details. Then, you should see Approximate size with Retrieve size details. Just click on Retrieve size details.

Is it possible to get this information via a REST API call?

`size` is a property of the repository object on the API. Here is an example object from https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/atlassian/bbql/?fields=-owner,-workspace,-links,-project

(Note that I've used field exclusion to remove some fields so it's easier to read).

The size is in bytes.

Is there a table or query we can check against the database instead? Just trying to verify if any of our repos are over 2GB for the Cloud migration.
