Need to run garbage collection on the repository

[ValdikSS]

Hello, I just received "Your workspace is over 1 GB" email, which states that I need to clean my workspace to continue using free plan.

My repository <redacted> updates the information twice a day, using Pipelines, rewriting the history. Its size is no more than 50 MB, however the repository statistics page states it's occupying 1.7 GB of workspace size.

Please run GC on this repository, and tell what could be done to trigger the GC automatically in the future.

Hi @ValdikSS and welcome to the community!

I ran a git gc on the repo and its size has been reduced. Does it look ok now on your end?

A git gc is triggered automatically on every push, but with different parameters every time depending on many different conditions. If the automated one doesn't reduce your repo size, you can create a question in community and either myself or one of my colleagues will run a git gc manually that will optimize the repo size better.

Just a heads up, I edited the repo URL for privacy reasons.

Kind regards,
Theodora
