laravel project size got extra large after downloaded from git hub

Question

We were working on a Laravel project using git hub pull push method.

Recently we downloaded our project (our work is not done yet, only 40% done so far ) .

Now we found the project size 480+ mb . What we do ?

Run a usage analysis tool to see what takes the space. We can't just speculate what could have happened. — apokryfos, Mar 03 '21 at 07:01
@Beller No I did not, in fact this my first work in git - that's why I missed a lot of procedure I guess — Shishir, Mar 03 '21 at 07:04
@apokryfos I actually downloaded the zip file from git and deployed it on server running catche/route clear command in cmd (hope this info will help you to get my issue ) — Shishir, Mar 03 '21 at 07:05
no actually that raises more questions than it answers. Is the zip file what's 480mb? And also which folder takes most space? — apokryfos, Mar 03 '21 at 11:45

You should:

That is:

cd /path/to/local/cloned/repository
git-sizer --verbose

Then you can apply the tool newren/git-filter-repo (mentioned here, do install it first) to remove any large element.
