Garbage Collection Request

[P. Jalu]

Hello,

I just ran BFG to test removing large files on one of my repository, but the repository size actually increased when viewed in Bitbucket even though when I tried to clone it, the size already decreased from the original.

Would it possible to run GC on the "*-test-1" repository? Thank you.

Hi @P. Jalu and welcome to the community!

The size of the remote repo increased after you push changes with BFG because the repo had both old references (before history rewrite) and new ones (after history rewrite).

I ran a git gc on the repo so that old references get removed and its size has been reduced.

Does it look ok now on your end?

Kind regards,
Theodora
