The housekeeping function runs `git gc` ([man page][man]) on the current
project Git repository.
2016-01-11 11:11:22 -05:00
`git gc` runs a number of housekeeping tasks, such as compressing file
revisions (to reduce disk space and increase performance) and removing
unreachable objects which may have been created from prior invocations of
`git add`.

You can find this option under your **[Project] > Settings**.
