We take regular snapshots of your project so you can roll back changes should you need to. If you have regularly changing data files then this can quickly bloat .git. We recommend placing such files in a folder called .data, as these are automatically .gitignored. But you can add a .gitignore file and include any other files you want too to stop it from filling up too quickly.
You can free up space by running ‘git gc’ and ‘git prune’ from the command line. And if you don’t need the history running ‘rm -rf .git’ will delete it altogether.
