git gc --aggressive --prune=now git push --force

Also, with 12 cores 12 GB of ram, it failed. But on my other PC with 12 cores 32GB, it worked.

I could provide my PC for the push, 32 GB is not that common...

Have you tried a shallow clone e.g., --depth 1?

Your memory inflating during git clone sounds weird. It is just a network operation + extracting content. On my potato system (4-Core, 8GB) it barely adds 100MB memory usage when cloning HakuNeko.

No problem to clone the repo beside you just downloaded 1.5GB of data (that could be reduced to 0.5GB). The heavy task is pruning as git need to keep in memory objects to compress them efficiently.

shallow clone

The solution for people who want the full repo without commits, but still take storage on servers.
