Hi all,

I have recently tried to make a repository smaller using BFG repo cleaner. Been working on my own fork here:

  <a href="https://github.com/inodb/cbioportal-frontend/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">GitHub</a>

GitHub - inodb/cbioportal-frontend

Contribute to inodb/cbioportal-frontend development by creating an account on GitHub.

Seems like it worked in that the repo now is <70 MB when cloning down from about 1.1 GB or so:

Receiving objects: 100% (86358/86358), 66.88 MiB | 8.45 MiB/s, done.

But the API still reports "size": 419143: https://api.github.com/repos/inodb/cbioportal-frontend. I saw in other places that the size field is not very trustworthy so maybe that’s the answer here?

Best wishes,
Ino
