Request to run git garbage collection

I've removed file history via `git-filter-repo` and pushed to my bitbucket repository that the name starts with `Kid`.

 

However, the repo size is still 2.x GiB while it is 24MiB at local from `git-sizer`. According to  

https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/reduce-repository-size/, my repo size is 2.x GiB < 4*0.75=3GiB, so the garbage collection will not be triggered automatically, so I need the support from Bitbucket.

 

Could you please help to run git gc/git maintenance for my repo?

Hi @Ong Min Siang,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

I have notified the Atlassian support team that is on here and they will get back to you within 2 business days regarding this.

Hi @Ong Min Siang 

I've just ran a gc and this has reduced the kid repository down from 2.9GB to 22.7MB.

There is another repo in your workspace starting with enrich that was also taking up 2.9GB - I ran a gc and this reduced to 12MB.

As you're on a Free plan - there is a 1GB hard workspace limit coming in April 28th that you can read about below. I can confirm that you are now comfortably below this limit and are sitting at 466MB:

Cheers!
