I think these blogs are the binaries from the release branch, and they somehow got left around after the delete of that branch.
I then used the script from SO 460331 to find the blobs…and the five biggest don't exist, though smaller blobs are found, so I know the script is working. So then I ran through the usual list of Git commands, like git gc -prune=today -aggressive, without any luck.īy following Charles Bailey's instructions at SO 1029969 I was able to get a list of SHA-1 hashes for the biggest blobs. First I tried git branch -d release, but Git said "error: The branch 'release' is not an ancestor of your current HEAD." which is true, so then I did git branch -D release to force it to be deleted.īut my repository size, both locally and on GitHub, was still huge. The release branch contained binary distribution files that were contributing to a very large repository size (more than 250 MB), so I decided to clean things up.įirst I deleted the remote release branch, via git push origin :release. I have a GitHub repository that had two branches – master and release.
