Hi,
I already raised a issue about repository oversized and at that it was reduced from your end, but now again facing the same whereas, I have already removed the unwanted files but still after 2 months repo size is automatically increased.
Request you please reduce the size of repo from your end.
I ran "git gc"
Than I ran "git count-objects -vH"
Below is the output:
count: 0
size: 0 bytes
in-pack: 40155
packs: 1
size-pack: 1.45 GiB
prune-packable: 0
garbage: 0
size-garbage: 0 bytes
Thanks,
Pankaj Mundra
Hi @Pankaj Mundra,
Your Bitbucket Cloud account has access to several repositories. I saw one repo with a size close to the 4 GB limit, I ran a git gc for it and its size has been reduced.
In case you would like me to run a git gc for a different repo, could you please provide the repo name masked (i.e. a few letters that can help me identify it among the ones you have access to)?
Kind regards,
Theodora
Hi @Theodora Boudale ,
Thanks, you did the action on the required repository.
Just wanted to know, if there is any way next time I can do this step myself.
Also, can you please let me know what is the current size of the repository you ran the command.
Thanks,
Pankaj Mundra

Hi @Pankaj Mundra,
You are very welcome. The repo's size was 1.4 GB when I ran the git gc two days ago, and I see it is 1.5 GB now.
I'm afraid that it is not possible for end users to trigger a git gc for their remote repos.
A full garbage collection will run automatically if a repo is over the 4 GB limit and you push an update with a git reset. This is useful if the repo goes over the limit because of an accidental push of a large commit, you can read more details here:
In all other cases, you can create a question here and either I or one of my colleagues can trigger a git gc for your repo.
We have a feature request for what you are asking https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BCLOUD-11593 . You can add your vote and comment there to further express your interest.
Kind regards,
Theodora

Hi @Theodora Boudale , can you please again run the command to reduce repo size.
Also, can you please check and tell me why every time the repo size increases, what is wrong I am committing.
Thanks,
Pankaj Mundra

Hey @Pankaj Mundra ,
I've just triggered a garbage collection in your repository and the size was reduced to 1.5GB.
Now that GC is completed, I would highly recommend you having everyone that has cloned that repository to remove their old local copies 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, @Pankaj Mundra !
