Git 仓库瘦身与 LFS 大文件存储

熟悉 Git 的小伙伴应该都知道随着 Git 仓库维护的时间越来越久,追踪的文件越来越多,git 存储的 objects 数量会极其庞大,每次从远程仓库 git clone 的时候都会墨迹很久。如果我们不小心 git add 了一个体积很大的文件,且 git push 到了远程仓库,那么我们 git clone 的时候也会很慢。

看一下 GitHub 上的 microsoft/vscode 仓库,都有 九万多个 commit 了,可想而知 objects 的数量应该很恐怖,尝试 clone 一下(一百多万个 objects):

这里微微记录下 Git 仓库瘦身和使用 Git LFS 进行大文件存储管理的几个常规操作。

Git 仓库瘦身

瘦身背景:错误把大文件 push 到了远程仓库

我们可以通过以下命令或者 du -mh 查看 Git 仓库的体积,git-count-objects

# 查看仓库体积情况
git count-objects -vH

示例:可以看到当前仓库体积只有 12.00 KiB 左右

现在我们模拟错误的将大文件上传到远程 Git 仓库的动作:

# 1、生成一个 90MB 大小的文件,Github 做了限制超过 100 MB 大小的文件建议使用 LFS,直接拒绝 push
➜ dd if=/dev/zero of=bigfile bs=90MB count=1
# 2、将这个文件 push 到远程仓库
➜ git add bigfile
➜ git commit -m "add 90MB bigfile"
➜ git push origin master

好,接下来我们假装这个仓库有很多文件,不知道具体是那个文件让 Git 仓库的体积突然变大,导致 clone 很慢🤣。就算知道了是哪里个文件造成的,我们直接删除那个文件是没有用的,我们还需要删除那个文件对应的 Git Object 文件

接下来我们可以通过一下命令将本地 clone 的仓库历史提交过的体积较大的前 5 个文件名与对应的 Object 文件的 ID 罗列出来:

git rev-list --objects --all | grep "$(git verify-pack -v .git/objects/pack/*.idx | sort -k 3 -n | tail -5 | awk '{print$1}')"

然后我们删除历史提交过的大文件 bigfile,从日志中我们可以看到本地仓库已经移除大文件成功了

➜ git filter-branch --force --index-filter 'git rm -rf --cached --ignore-unmatch bigfile' --prune-empty --tag-name-filter cat -- --all

接下来我们使用 reflog 和 gc 压缩(清理和回收大文件占用的 objects 空间)看看瘦身效果,最后将变动推送到远程仓库即可:

➜ git reflog expire --expire=now --all && git gc --prune=now --aggressive

➜ git count-objects -vH

➜ git push --mirror
Total 0 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)

 * [new branch]      origin/main -> origin/main
 * [new branch]      origin/master -> origin/master

What's the difference between git clone --mirror and git clone --bare

Git LFS 大文件存储

如果我们之前生成的大文件 bigfile 大小超过 100 MB,那么 push 到 Github 的时候,会抛出个 error 错误,并会有条建议使用 LFS (Large File Storage):https://git-lfs.github.com/ 管理这个大文件:

➜ git push origin main

# 仓库初始化 LFS

➜ git commit -m "add .gitattributes"
➜ git push

➜ git add bigfile200
➜ git commit -m "bigfile 200MB"

开启了 LFS 之后,对应大文件的内容存储在 LFS 服务器中,不再是存储在 Git 仓库中,Git 仓库中存储的是大文件的指针文件,LFS 的指针文件是一个文本文件。

Done?
