I recently heard a story that someone tried to push a 1TB repo to our university Gitlab which then ran out of disk space. Sure, that might have been not be a usable repo but only an experiment. Still, I would bet against the claim that 300GB is the largest one.

- BenjiWiebe 9y agoI'd sure like to run that as my operating system, browser, virtual assistant, car automation system, and overall do-everything-for-me system...
- ethomson 9y ago300 GB is not the size of _the repository_. It's the size of the code base - the checked out tree of source, tests, build tools, etc - without history. It's certainly possible that somebody created a 1 TB source tree in Git, but what we've never heard of is somebody actually _using_ such a source tree, with 4000 or more developers, for their daily work in producing a product. I say this with some certainty because if somebody had succeeded, they would have needed to make similar changes to Git to be successful, though of course they could have kept such changes secret.
