The housekeeping function runs `git gc` ([man page][man]) 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] > Settings**.
