Request for Garbage Collection

dwilt_tns January 18, 2023

I am trying to reduce the size of one of my repositories which is at 2GB.  I have deleted many branches but the the size has not been reduced.  I have the Labs Delete dangling commits when over size limit enabled but this does not appear to be cleaning anything up.

I believe that I need GC ran on my repository and since we have no way to do this ourselves so I am creating this request.

Hey @dwilt_tns 

G'day.

I have triggered the Git GC on your Workspace's 2 GB repository size. The repository size has been reduced to 1.9 GB after GC is complete, which I believe is still reasonably huge.

I suggest reviewing your repository again for any large binary file that may exist in it and using BFG tools to remove and clean your repository.

Cheers,
Syahrul
