Why Bitbucket cloud is showing a different size than my local repo?

[Omar Abdelhameed Ayala]

Hi @Ana Retamal . I have a similar problem. BitBucket says the repo's size is 1.6 Gb but if I clone it the size is not more than 350 Mb. Could you please perform and git gc on my repository ? https://bitbucket.org/traffgen/rhprohost/src/master/

Also is there any way to perform it remotely? As far as I know this is not possible. Thx.

Hi, I have same issue here https://bitbucket.org/Liikennevirta/ios it is approaching 2GB limit, local copy size is under 1GB, could you please try gc on it ?

@Ana Retamal 
Hey!
Can you please help me by reducing the size of the repo on remote

https://bitbucket.org/dhruv-grappus/ios-influencer-connect/src

my repo locally is showing 302187 KB when I run "git count-objects -v"

Hope for an early reply,
Thanks

[wheelerruss]

Hi @Ana Retamal , seeing as this ticket seems to say your job is just running git gc on repos, due to it not updating on bitbucket properly, could you run it on mine please?

https://bitbucket.org/wheelerruss/wordsy/

Thanks

[wheelerruss]

(hopefully that was obvious that it was tongue in cheek, and it's very much appreciated!)

[wheelerruss]

oh and if possible https://bitbucket.org/wheelerruss/wordsy_server too

Hello @Ana Retamal,

Sorry to add to your list aha, but I'm also having this problem with this repo: https://bitbucket.org/neuromersiv/neuromersiv-vr

Local object count reports size as 183MB, but the repo still says 1.6GB, I've given it a couple days to see if it'd automatically run the GC, but so far nothing has changed.

Thanks!

Hi @Ana Retamal,

could you please try and decrease the size of the following repo?

Hi,

  Could you please run gc in this repo?.

@Ana Retamal  hi we have same issue. https://bitbucket.org/datlinq/enrichers/src/master/

[Ana Retamal]

Hi @Ramu Kamath , I've checked your account but it looks like you don't own any repositories. Could you let me know the name of the repo you were referring to so I can have a look?

Ana

[Manjunath Rajappa]

Hi @Ana Retamal 

1. Can you help us understand why this irregularity occurs in the bitbucket cloud? 
2. Is it possible to do git GC from our end rather than connecting Atlassian every time this issue occurs and how?

Thanks in advance

Regards,

Manjunath

[Ana Retamal]

Hi @Manjunath Rajappa,

This is not an irregularity, it is normal that this happens and it's a result of some of the operations Git performs. 

Currently, it's not possible for users to run git gc on remote repos, but you're welcome to contact us anytime you need it. There's also a Feature request that you might be interested, you can find it at Issue 11593 . You can vote for it to increase its popularity or write a comment if there's anything you'd like to add. Our development team will give a first-hand update through that ticket if there's any progress or review made. 

Hope that answers your questions, Manjunath!

Cheers,

Ana

Hello,

similar issue here, local repo is less than 1mo but the one on bitbucket is showing 34,7, could you have a look ?

thanks in advance

[Logesh Praveen Shunmugavelu]

Hello @Ana Retamal ,

I have the same problem,  could you please take a look at our repository?

https://bitbucket.org/hiscoxpsg/magic-apps-testauto.git

Thank you!

[nena_schmidt]

Hello @Ana Retamal , I have the same problem,  could you please take a look at our repository?

https://bitbucket.org/ss26dev/map-coordinates/src/master/

Thank you in advance.

[Ana Retamal]

Hi @nena_schmidt

Thanks for reaching out. I've run a git gc on your remote and the size was reduced to 846.2 MB. Is this the same size it's showing on your local?

Best regards,

Ana

[Daniel Crowder]

Hi @Ana Retamal ,

Our repository was stating a 1.5GB size via the admin page and we tried deleting two build branches in hopes of purging the commit history and then recreated them. By doing so the repository size jumped up to 1.7GB.

Locally, however, the size is at most 600MB.

Could you run git gc on bitbucket.org:nrfwebmaster/d8.nrf.com.git to see if there is any reduction in the size?

Thank you in advance.

-Dan

[Ana Retamal]

Hi Dan,

I've checked your repository and I could see that its current size is 96.5 MB, so it seems like the automated git gc run on it already. 

For the future, I'd recommend you submitting a new question, as replying to an already existing (an old) one will reduce the chances of one of us seen it.

Best regards!

Ana

[triedge_s]

Hi @Ana Retamal ,

Please run git gc on https://balramt_r@bitbucket.org/triedgeteam/triedge_repo.git

Thank you in advance

[Ana Retamal]

Hi @triedge_s ,

I've run the git gc but the size has not changed, it stays at 1.8GB. Can you confirm what's the size of your local repository?

Best regards,

Ana

[triedge_s]

Thank you for your quick response.

@Ana Retamal The size of local repository is 821 MB.

[Ana Retamal]

Hi @triedge_s ,

I've run git gc again but the size hasn't changed. Can you confirm that you pushed the new reduced repository to the remote? You need to take action on your side first so it will be reflected on the remote. 

Let us know if you need anything else!

Ana

[triedge_s]

I Atlassian Team,

Please run git gc on https://balramt_r@bitbucket.org/triedgeteam/triedge_repo.git

Thank you

[georgy_guryev]

Hi Atlassian Team,

I have a similar issue: my private repository should be around 145 MiB, while Bitbucket cloud shows 1.54GB.

Could you, please, run git gc on https://georgy_guryev@bitbucket.org/georgy_guryev/pfft.git ?

Thanks,

Georgy

[Logesh Praveen Shunmugavelu]

Hi @Ana Retamal  or Atlassian Team,

I am also facing the same issue. My code folder is actually around 0.25 GB (size-pack 251487 KB's), but the repository is showing 1.85 GB. 

Could you please help me to resolve this? as after 2GB my repo will become read only mode.

https://bitbucket.org/hiscoxpsg/magic-apps-testauto.git

Thanks,

Logesh

[Ana Retamal]

Hi @Logesh Praveen Shunmugavelu

The size of your repository is not only the size of the size pack, it's the total size of the items displayed when you run 

git count-objects

From the official Git documentation:

count: the number of loose objects

size: disk space consumed by loose objects, in KiB (unless -H is specified)

in-pack: the number of in-pack objects

size-pack: disk space consumed by the packs, in KiB (unless -H is specified)

prune-packable: the number of loose objects that are also present in the packs. These objects could be pruned usinggit prune-packed.

garbage: the number of files in object database that are neither valid loose objects nor valid packs

size-garbage: disk space consumed by garbage files, in KiB (unless -H is specified)

As you can see, the rest of the items such as garbage and duplicate objects also counts as part of the repository size.  

I've checked the size of the remote and it's 1GB at the moment. If you still don't think this corresponds to the size of the local repo, please show us the output of git count-objects and we'll continue helping you.

Best regards,

Ana

[Logesh Praveen Shunmugavelu]

Hi @Ana Retamal ,

Please find attached the output of git count-objects -vH. As you see below the size-pack is just 231.26 MiB, but not sure why the repository is showing 1.02 GB. Would it be possible to clear garbage and duplicate objects?

Thanks,

[Logesh Praveen Shunmugavelu]

hi @Ana Retamal ,

Any luck with the above mentioned issue?

Thanks.

[Ana Retamal]

Hi @Logesh Praveen Shunmugavelu , I've run a git gc on the remote and the size decreased to 212.9 MB. 

Hope that helps!

Ana

[Logesh Praveen Shunmugavelu]

Thanks @Ana Retamal . The issue is resolved :)

[Ana Retamal]

Glad to hear that! Have a nice day :) 

[Logesh Praveen Shunmugavelu]

Hi @Ana Retamal

The size has gone up to 1.07 GB again. Could you please run git gc command against the below repository?

Thanks

[Ana Retamal]

Hi @Logesh Praveen Shunmugavelu , I've run git gc on your repo and the size has decreased to 216.1 MB.

[booji]

Hi @Ana Retamal 

I am experiencing similar issues, tried reducing size, but still says 2gb.

can you please run GC on both repos

https://bitbucket.org/boojiadmin/booji-fe

https://bitbucket.org/boojiadmin/booji-fe-2gb

much appreciated

[Ana Retamal]

Hi @booji, thanks for reaching out :) 

I've checked the first repo and looks like the git gc must have run automatically, as the size shows 3.9 MB on disk.

Regarding the second repository, I've run the git gc and the size has decreased to 740.4 MB.

Hope that helps! If you need anything else in the future let us know.

Best regards,

Ana 

[MCSAEP]

Hi,

I need help to run the git gc on our 3 remote repos stored in my bitbucket cloud because I already did all the steps to reduce locally the size but not it has not synced in the cloud. I need a cleanup on a repos and any help is welcome, Thanks.

[Nishan Bende]

Hi, can you please run gc on my repo. Its showing 321 mb locally but i cant push anything as it has reached 2 gb remotely.

https://bitbucket.org/solutelabs/slnewwesbite/

Thank you,

Nishan

[pkl_wellborn]

Hi @Ana Retamal Ortiz,

I have reduced our repo to 26meg  using:

$> git filter-branch --index-filter 'git rm -rf --cached --ignore-unmatch curator/assets/' --prune-empty --tag-name-filter cat -- --all

 and 

$>git push origin --all --force

and 

$>git push origin --tags --force

Worked great!  But BitBucket still shows 1.6G.

Can you please  `git gc`  on    git@bitbucket.org:pkl_wellborn/curator.git   so it will show the updated size?

Thanks!

[Christopher Paterson]

Issue was resolved by contacting support.

[ericvanbuhler]

Hi @Ana Retamal Ortiz, could you run `git gc` on https://bitbucket.org/alwaysai/edgeiq-models/? I just migrated all the large files to git LFS with BFG but the size listed on Bitbucket is even larger than before!

[ericvanbuhler]

Could you also run 'git gc' on https://bitbucket.org/alwaysai/edgeiq/? We cleaned that one up a while back and I noticed that the size is still quite large. I wonder if garbage collection will also help on this repo.

[Miroslav Bartyzal]

Hi @Ana Retamal , could you take a look on this repo too? It should be much smaller than it is currently shown. It is like that for more than a month after the cleanup.

https://bitbucket.org/gp-gopay/id-ocr

[Ana Retamal]

Hi @Miroslav Bartyzal , I've run a git gc on the remote and the size decreased to 8.7 MB. 

Cheers!

Ana

[fjmolina]

Hi @Ana Retamal ! I've the same problem, could you please run a git gc on the repository https://bitbucket.org/marcelofrias/bliss ? 

How could i run git gc in my repo? Just asking for future. Thanks !

[Ana Retamal]

Hi Facundo

I've run the git gc on the remote but the size hasn't changed, it remains as 1.9 GB.

For the future, you could run git gc on your repository using the following command. Note that this will only apply to your local repository, this will not be executed on the remote repository that is hosted in our servers. 

However, that will not magically decrease the size of your repository, you'll need to reduce the size of your repository as explained at Reduce repository size.

Let us know if you have any questions!

Best regards,

Ana

[Neexcorp]

Hi, sorry to jump on the gc wagon https://bitbucket.org/iagreejira/beta

@Ana Retamal 

thanks!

[Ana Retamal]

Hi Paul, no worries! I've run a a git gc in your remote repo and the size has decreased to 248.3 MB.

Have a nice day,

Ana

[gplocke]

Hey @Ana Retamal Ortiz,

Could I also get `git gc` run on our https://bitbucket.org/vosbalance repos?  The one says it's 1.2 gigs, but locally I have `size-pack: 168.69 MiB`.

Thanks!!

[LalaRukh Talha]

@Ana Retamal 

I am facing a similar issue in my private repo https://bitbucket.org/scotneygroup/toca-system/src/b_Dev_3_1/

The settings page says its size is 1.1 GB while `size-pack` of `git count-objects -v`is 463810 KB.

In my case, there had once been a big file in commit history, so I forked the repo to https://bitbucket.org/lalarukh/test-lala/src/b_Dev_3_1/ and rewrote history using BFG following the instructions to see if it helps to reduce the size of the repo.

Now, the settings page of the forked repo says its size is 1.3 GB while `size-pack` of `git count-objects -v` is 434997 KB.

I tried to run the git gc but it seems to not work in my case. Can you help me with this?

[Ana Retamal]

Hi @LalaRukh Talha ,

You're seeing different sizes because you're measuring different things (remote repo vs local repo) and they don't always have to match.

Forking the repo will not help, as it will just copy everything from the old repo, including its history (which contains the big file you mentioned above). If you want this file to not be part of the repo, the easiest way would be to delete the image and start a new repository from scratch (initializing git again and uploading it to Bitbucket) so there's no trace from that file.

Running a git gc on the local won't work either, as what you want to reduce is the size of the remote. I've run a git gc on the remote for you and the size has decreased to 215.2 MB.

Hope that helps!

Ana

[LalaRukh Talha]

Awesome! Thanks for the info @Ana
