Compress git repos (git gc) recursively
Like most i have a
src
folder where most my repos are, I notice a big HDD space decrease working on projects with bigger groups (many commits a day). I bumped intogit gc --agressive
, which is great, but i wanted to run trough all repos since it's non destructive.PS: I'm not a dev, I'm sure there is better ways of writing this.
