About This Calculator

Calculate your git repository size and plan cleanup operations. This free online calculator provides accurate, instant results to help you manage your repository storage efficiently.

How It Works

The calculator estimates your repository size based on the number of commits, average commit size, and number of branches. It also calculates potential savings from running git garbage collection.

  • Total Commits: The total number of commits in your repository history
  • Average Commit Size: The typical size of each commit in kilobytes
  • Branches: The number of branches affects storage due to branch-specific objects

Tips for Reducing Repository Size

  • Run git gc --aggressive --prune=now for deep cleanup
  • Use Git LFS for large binary files
  • Remove unnecessary branches regularly
  • Consider using shallow clones for CI/CD pipelines
  • Use .gitignore to exclude build artifacts and dependencies
