Workspace put into read only mode due to size limit

[avirajs]

Hi,

My workspace has been placed into read only mode due to size exceeding 1GB. Can you please run garbage collection to reduce the size. i can then analyze the large files in the repositories and delete them

Thanks.

Hi @avirajs 

Welcome to the community!

I have triggered garbage collection on the affected repository, but the size did not decrease further. This indicates that your repository contains large files that need to be removed to reduce its size.

My recommendation is to perform a bare clone of your repository and delete the large files locally. Once the repository size is reduced locally, you can delete the remote repository, create a new one, and push the local copy to the new remote. This process should help bring your workspace size below the 1 GB limit.

Please check our guide below on how to reduce your repository size:

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any questions.

thanks for your time. Doesnt this mean that my version history will be lost? can the repo be made read-write for some duration so that i can analyze and delete large files?

It seems the .git folder is 1.3GB. Even if i delete large files, the .git folder is not going to reduce in size right? I dont see any large files though, it could be because some binary files got checked in again and again

Help me resolve this please
