Housekeeping
Introduced in GitLab 8.4.
Automatic housekeeping
GitLab automatically runs git gc and git repack on repositories
after Git pushes. If needed you can change how often this happens, or
to turn it off, go to Admin area > Settings
(/admin/application_settings).
Manual housekeeping
The housekeeping function runs git gc (man page) on the current
project Git repository.
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] > Edit Project.
