Is there a disk quota?
There is a 2 GB disk quota per repository, and it cannot be increased.
Please note that git is best suited for managing text files like source code or HTML files.
Putting small binary files like images in a repository is fine, but you should not put large files like videos or PDFs.
If you have a lot binary files we recommend that you use my.epfl.ch instead, which has the following advantages over git :
- full text search in PDFs, Office documents, etc.
- fine grained permissions management (per directory or per file)
- modern web interface
- fast WebDAV access
Note : my.epfl also support file versioning.
Other solutions like a NAS are also available.
What you can I do if I'm over quota?
If you are over quota you cannot delete files to reclaim space, as in a revision control system files are never really deleted.
So you need to :
- Create a new repository
- Make sure that you exclude large binary files from your repository
- Reimport your data
How do I know my current disk usage?
You can look at the size of your repository's .git folder on your local machine, it should be roughly the same as your repository disk usage on the server.
Do you provide alternatives for binary files storage?
Yes, we provide SAN and NAS data storage.
