want to clear specific old commit history and run GC on single repository

[Chandrasekhar Kunuturu]

Hi Team,

We need to clear some specific old commit history on single repository and then run the GC for the same repo.

also what is the default schedule for running GC ?

incase if we want to run the GC manually from our end , is it a good practice?
if yes can you please provide the steps to do that.

Thanks,

Hi @Chandrasekhar Kunuturu and welcome to the community!

A git gc runs on every push to a repository but with different parameters depending on several different conditions. It cannot be triggered manually on the remote repo by end users.

If you rewrite history in the repo and push your changes, please reach out to us afterwards and ask that we trigger a git gc for the repo manually to clean up unreferenced objects.

You can either leave a reply here or you could also raise a ticket with the support team since you have access to a workspace on a paid billing plan.

When you are asked to provide the workspace URL, please make sure you enter the URL of the workspace that is on a paid billing plan to proceed with ticket creation.

Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions.
