This happen twice: I already erased my repo, because of a filesize too big (>100mb), then it always failed when get test in CI/CD GitLab.

So i create the new repo, ... and it happens again: when I check my folder size, the main problem is .git: I dont know what happen and I don't know the solution.

I just have 2 branch (master and develop), and several commits (because it is a new repo)

Then I keep searching the solution , with git command:

git gc --aggresive --prune=now

but still .git pack so huge, so I really need your help to find this solution, because I don't want to erase my repo again and the problem came again
my new repo (so bigg)

It seems there are binaries in snitch and vendor. If the binaries are added and committed, .git gets big as expected.

As commented, make sure your .gitignore will ignore any generated binary.

Try first to remove anty big files from your past commits, with BFG Repo cleaner ( faster than the native git filter-branch)

java -jar bfg.jar --strip-blobs-bigger-than 2M some-big-repo.git

Only then you can apply git gc/repack/prune in order for the size to actually go down.

git gc

git repack -Ad      # kills in-pack garbage

git prune           # kills loose garbage
