It might be related to git and not Gogs/Gitea itself. I've found Gitea to handle larger repos fine after running the following: git config --global core.packedGitWindowSize 16m git config --global core.packedGitLimit 64m git config --global pack.windowMemory 64m git config --global pack.packSizeLimit 64m git config --global pack.thread 1 git config --global pack.deltaCacheSize 1m This reduces the memory used by git during certain operations.
