I need a git gc --prune=now on my repository

[Apoka_4k]

The size still appears as greater than 4GB despite I reduced it to around 2.5GB.

Hi Apoka,

I can see your personal repository is now 3.3GB, I executed a git gc and it did not reduce the size any further. 

I would suggest executing the following command to find a list of your largest files:

• git rev-list --objects --all \
  | git cat-file --batch-check='%(objecttype) %(objectname) %(objectsize) %(rest)' \
  | awk '/^blob/ {print substr($0,6)}' \
  | sort -r --numeric-sort --key=2 \
  | numfmt --field=2 --to=iec-i --suffix=B --padding=7 --round=nearest

Once you have those largest files, you can either convert these to LFS or remove them from the repo completely using the BFG Tool:
