Sometimes our cloned repository became so freakin large, for example golang’s google.golang.org/api, currently mine consume about 1.1GB. We could compress it using garbage collection parameter:
# 664 MB in about 20 seconds
Or if you have time you can use aggresive GC, like this:
# 217 MB in about 5 minutes
mv ../temp/{shallow,objects} .git
# 150 MB in about 2 seconds
Next you can reclaim space from docker using this command:
For more disk usage analysis you can use baobab for linux or windirstat on windows.
