Git Objects Pack Huge
When you are packing git objects that large in size you may face some issues. Below are some issues that you may face and can resolve.
- The files which are in large size will increase the git repository size which git is not suitable for. Use tools like git-annexe or git-lfs to remove large binary files which are not useful for your project.
- Remove the unnecessary commits which are having large files and unnecessary commits. By using the git rebase, git squash or git review command you can reduce the commit history size
- Shadow cleaning will help us to git clone and fetch the particular commits that we required instead of all commits. For example “git clone –depth 1 <repository-url>” to clone only the latest commit.
- Git gc command can help you to remove the unused or unnecessary objects which will help us to optimize the repository storage.
git gc --prune=now to force an immediate garbage collection

Git is a distributed version control system known for its efficiency and speed. One of the key features that contribute to its performance is the use of pack-objects. Pack objects are a mechanism that Git uses to store and transfer data efficiently. This article will explore what pack-objects are, why they are important, and how they function within Git.
