Impact

Housekeeping is a set of automated tasks that GitLab performs to ensure the efficient functioning and maintenance of Git repositories. These tasks are crucial for repository health and performance.

Manually running Git commands for housekeeping can lead to issues, including repository corruption and data loss. Instead, it is advisable to rely on SCM’s built-in housekeeping automation, which is designed to perform these tasks safely and efficiently.
