my git repo size on remote has increased after git filter-repo

[kamal kumar]

I have used git filter-repo to reduced the size of my git repo.. it shows decreased size on local but after pushing size on remote is increased from 796 MB to 1.1GB. Why ? and how can i reduce it

Hi @kamal kumar

Welcome to the community.

It is likely due to dangling commits, hence, why the repository increased the size after reducing the size.

We can run Git GC (Garbage Collection) on our end against your remote repository to reveal its true size.

Could you let me know the current repository size for me to run GC against it?

Thank you for your response .... I have deleted the old repo and added things in new repo..
