# Housekeeping
_**Note:** This feature was [introduced][ce-2371] in GitLab 8.4_
---
The housekeeping function runs [`git gc`][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**.
