Repository size issu

Question

I am getting sizer problems on repository

This repository's size is over 2 GB. If it reaches 2 GB, we'll restrict the repository to read-only access.

I can push, any changes and try to resize the rep.

local size shows:

git count-objects -v
count: 0
size: 0
in-pack: 855
packs: 1
size-pack: 1969237
prune-packable: 0
garbage: 0
size-garbage: 0

Thank you very much for the help.

I will let you know if I need to run git gc one more time.

Thank you

Hi @Andrius Dumčius,

Thank you for your reply. Your first question was created with a different account and I couldn't find this repo associated with it. However, I can see now the repo associated with the account you replied from.

I ran a git gc on the repo, its size is now 2.5 GB. If you have rewritten history on this repo and your local clone has a size smaller than that, and you want to push these changes, then another git gc will be needed after you push your changes (so that the change in size is reflected).

Please feel free to let me know after you push (in case you push from a clone with reduced repo size) and I can run another git gc.

Kind regards,
Theodora
