[SOLVED] Clean the git

I just now updated my local git and compiled it.

I checked the total size of the main folder, and in total, I have 5,37GB in files for Xonotic. That's a bit much on this small laptop harddrive. Is there a way to clean away old stuff?

If you have no local changes, you can do:

./all clean -f

to get rid of all untracked files, and all changes. After that, you can reduce your .git directory sizes by:

./all each git gc

This will take a while, though.

Don't expect a huge improvement in size though, we have big source files (2.5 GB at this time), and a compressed copy of those 2.5 GB are stored internally by git.

You can probably delete the nexcompat directory if you don't plan to do anything with it.

Just deleting it will only make it come back the next time you update. Remove the xonotic-nexcompat.pk3dir directory and make a xonotic-nexcompat.pk3dir.no file in the directory that hosted it (the file can be empty, doesn't matter). This will prevent the update script from downloading it again.

Removing the nexcompat folder helped me for 1,4GB

Did the other stuff, but don't know exactly howmuch that helped, as I moved some files around while it was running.

You can also probably scrap the mediasource directory too.

But don't forget to add .no files or it will re-download on the next ./all update.
