### Repository size limits

We recommend repositories remain small, ideally less than 1 GB, and less than 5 GB is strongly recommended. Smaller repositories are faster to clone and easier to work with and maintain. If your repository excessively impacts our infrastructure, you might receive an email from {% data variables.contact.github_support %} asking you to take corrective action. We try to be flexible, especially with large projects that have many collaborators, and will work with you to find a resolution whenever possible. You can prevent your repository from impacting our infrastructure by effectively managing your repository's size and overall health. You can find advice and a tool for repository analysis in the [`github/git-sizer`](https://github.com/github/git-sizer) repository.

External dependencies can cause Git repositories to become very large. To avoid filling a repository with external dependencies, we recommend you use a package manager. Popular package managers for common languages include [Bundler](http://bundler.io/), [Node's Package Manager](http://npmjs.org/), and [Maven](http://maven.apache.org/). These package managers support using Git repositories directly, so you don't need pre-packaged sources.
