# Housekeeping

## Introduction

The housekeeping function runs `git gc` on the current project git repository.

`git gc` runs a number of housekeeping tasks, such as compressing file revisions (to reduce disk space and increase performance) and removing unreachable objects which may have been created from prior invocations of git add.

See https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-gc.html for details.

## Where can I find it?

Just go to your project settings page and you will find the housekeeping function below the project settings form.
