Originally created by @thibaultmeyer on GitHub (Nov 5, 2016).

It would be nice to have a button (on each repos settings page) to run a housekeeping operation. This operation is useful to clean a repository and decrease is size.

Usually these two commands are run:

git prune
git gc --aggressive

I think there's a periodic routine doing those things, (why) do you also want a button ?

in any case, I guess if you provide a PR the approval process would be smoother :)

I think manual housekeeping is better than periodic routine, cause is useless to run housekeeping on no-longer used/ archived repos.

Or maybe the periodic routine could be configured to ignore some repos ? (like a checkbox on each repos settings)

I don't think the periodic routine can be configured, atm.
I guess an overall review of the system is needed, are you up for that ?
Ideally we'd have:

Configurable periodic routine (frequency, exclusion list)
Record of when the routine last run, shown in admin panel
Button to force a run the routine for a single repository
Button to force a run of the periodic routine
