GitLab stores the Git history with all data revisions as commits. To reduce the repository storage [0], older Git commits can be pruned but this would rewrite the Git history as an invasive change [1]. To store larger files, it is recommended to use Git LFS [2]. Alternatively, you can use the generic package registry to store data. [3]
