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

[LalaRukh Talha]

I am facing the 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 reducing 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.

Will `git gc` also help my case?

Hello LalaRukh,

From what you’ve explained with your local repo vs the hosted repo, it does sound as thought a git gc would help to ensure the hosted repo is displaying the proper size. Within Community, we don’t directly access client tools, so in this event, we’ll need to create a support case to have this resolved.

I have gone ahead and submitted your support request on your behalf. You may find this request at BBS-104345.

Support will take excellent care of you, please let us know if you run into any more issues.

Regards,
