Repo well over 2GB

[Sheila Cheng]

I have a repo that is brand new as of 3 weeks ago. I did not know about the 2GB limit and pushed a bunch of test files out there. The whole repo only has 3 commits. The last one is the one that pushed it well over. I can't believe it would let me push 8GB in it and not tell me anything about too big. Now I am dead in the water. Like a lot of posts in the forum on this topic, I have tried everything that is recommend (BFG...) and it just won't let me push anything. I am really tired of this msg below. I've submitted a help ticket to BB and have heard nothing back. Can someone tell me how I can completely get rid of the one commit?

Please make sure you have the correct access rights

and the repository exists."

Hello Sheila and welcome to the Community!

To confirm, there is a 1GB soft limit and a 2GB hard limit within Bitbucket cloud. With this said, running into this early into your use can be frustrating. Rest assured we’ll ensure you’re up and running soon.

There is a guide which will walk you through dealing with a reduction in the size of your repo. There are multiple steps to run through via git to reduce your total stored size so we will link the documentation for this instead of providing the steps. Here is the procedure to run through for reducing your repo size: Reduce repository size.

If you’re still having storage issues after processing the above article please let us know, you may need ‘git gc’ ran against your instance which only support can complete since this is Bitbucket cloud.
