I have a Gitlab repository which shows too big size in Gitlab while its sum of existing files in the repo is a lot less: Gitlab repo size
Gitlab repository shows around 700MB of storage and files while local git repo shows around 1MB: Local repo size
Local repository is up-to-date. However, when cloning the repo, it takes a long time until those 700MB are downloaded.
Goal: I need to get rid of the ghost files that is hidden but exists in the repo.
I already tried to search through Gitlab repo and local repo manually which did not give any results.
I also tried this script in git Bash:
git rev-list --all --objects | \
sed -n $(git rev-list --objects --all | \
cut -f1 -d' ' | \
git cat-file --batch-check | \
grep blob | \
sort -n -k 3 | \
tail -n40 | \
while read hash type size; do
echo -n "-e s/$hash/$size/p ";
done) | \
sort -n -k1
And it gave me the following result:Git Bash
"sound-controller.rar" file is not visible in the file explorer and GitLab repo. Therefore, I gave no idea how to remove that file. "git rm sound-controller" did not work.
