This is primarily due the gh-pages
branch and the Documenter
output hosted there. Images, etc. tend to be regenerated for each build and that easily adds up. It looks like currently deploys "per version" sit around 25MB each.
Consider the following output generated when checking out the gh-pages
branch (I removed the .git
folder).

This gets exacerbated by the fact that every commit to main
results in a new deployment, i.e. a regenerated dev
, which will amount for a large part of the remaining 800MB and stays in Git "forever".
You'll want to set something up using, for instance, git-filter-repo
on the gh-pages
branch to clean out old deployments to dev
, potentially remove older versions of documentation and only keep the last release for a minor, etc.
This task has been added to the milestone for tracking and prioritization.
Thanks @bauglir , I ended up wiping the entire gh-pages
and recreating it with the orphan
status. It helped for now

Depending on whether you'd like to maintain some form of history, the easiest solution to prevent this from becoming too bad is to set the forcepush
option to deploydocs
to true
so that any deployment overwrites the previous deployment.
