How to fix remote: GitLab: Namespace storage limit has been reached in Git

# In GitLab UI:
1. Go to your project or group
2. Navigate to Settings > Usage Quotas
3. Select the Storage tab
4. Review the breakdown by storage type

# Check which files are largest in your repo history
git rev-list --objects --all | \
  git cat-file --batch-check='%(objecttype) %(objectname) %(objectsize) %(rest)' | \
  sed -n 's/^blob //p' | \
  sort -k2 -n -r | \
  head -20

# Use git filter-repo to remove large files (DESTRUCTIVE - backup first!)
pip install git-filter-repo

# Remove a specific file from all history
git filter-repo --path path/to/large/file --invert-paths

# Remove files over a certain size (e.g., 50MB)
git filter-repo --strip-blobs-bigger-than 50M

git push origin --force --all
git push origin --force --tags

# List LFS files and their sizes
git lfs ls-files -s

# Check total LFS usage
git lfs ls-files -s | awk '{sum += $1} END {print sum/1024/1024 " MB"}'

# Identify large LFS files
git lfs ls-files -l | sort -k3 -n -r | head -20

# Untrack specific file patterns
git lfs untrack "*.psd"
git lfs untrack "*.zip"

# Remove LFS files from history (careful!)
git filter-repo --path-glob '*.psd' --invert-paths

# In GitLab UI:
1. Go to Build > Artifacts (or CI/CD > Artifacts in older versions)
2. Sort by size and review large artifacts
3. Delete artifacts that are no longer needed

job_name:
  script:
    - build_command
  artifacts:
    paths:
      - build/
    expire_in: 1 week  # Automatically deleted after 1 week

# Delete all artifacts older than a certain date
curl --request DELETE --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_token>" \
  "https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/<project_id>/artifacts"

# In GitLab UI:
1. Go to Packages & Registries > Container Registry
2. Review image tags and their sizes
3. Delete old or unused tags

# In GitLab UI:
1. Go to Settings > Packages and registries > Cleanup policies
2. Enable cleanup policies
3. Configure rules for automatic tag deletion

# Purchase storage units:
1. Go to Settings > Usage Quotas
2. Click "Purchase more storage"
3. Each storage unit provides 10 GiB for $60/year

# GitLab Self-Managed benefits:
- No storage quotas (limited only by your infrastructure)
- Full control over server resources
- Can use GitLab CE (Community Edition) for free
- Better for organizations with large storage needs

# Create a new repository in a different namespace (if available)
# Or use a temporary external Git host

# Add as a new remote
git remote add temp-origin [email protected]:other-namespace/repo.git

# Push your changes
git push temp-origin main

# Later, after fixing storage, sync back
git push origin main

# Remove temporary remote
git remote remove temp-origin
