I can't push after garbage collecting dead data (2gb < size of repository < 5gb)

Greysnek March 8, 2020

Hi

    With my last commit, I accidentally exceeded the 2GB limit

    after which I did the following:

  1. git reset --hard HEAD~
  2. tried "git push --force", but size of local repo didn't change, so it was pointless
  3. git reflog expire --expire=now --all
  4. git gc --prune=now

    On this stage size of local repo +- 200MB, but "git push --all --force" not works


fatal: TaskCanceledException encountered.
A task was canceled.

    Just in case: I'm not the admin of repo

 

   Sorry if this problem already was, but I can't search it 

 

Thank you in advance!

Hello @Greysnek,

Welcome to the Community.

You did it right, here's the guide on how to reduce repository size. The repository size in Bitbucket doesn't necessarily reflect such cleanups immediately because garbage collection isn't triggered on every update being quite an expensive operation.

I kicked off GC for your repository, its size reduced to around 300Mb.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Cheers,
Daniil
