It is desirable to keep the Git repositories in Radicle efficient by
ensuring objects are packed and unreachable objects are removed.
Add a process call to `git gc` to achieve this. Two flags are used for
garbage collection: `--auto` and `--prune`. Their details are outlined below:
--auto
With this option, git gc checks whether any housekeeping is
required; if not, it exits without performing any work.
--prune=<date>
Prune loose objects older than date (default is 2 weeks
ago, overridable by the config variable
gc.pruneExpire). --prune=now prunes loose objects
regardless of their age and increases the risk of
corruption if another process is writing to the repository
concurrently; see "NOTES" below. --prune is on by default.
For `--prune` the default used is `1.hours.ago`. This was chosen over
`now` since that may be too aggressive after just fetching new data.

Radicle Heartwood Protocol & Stack
Heartwood is the third iteration of the Radicle Protocol, a powerful
peer-to-peer code collaboration and publishing stack. The repository contains a
full implemention of Heartwood, complete with a user-friendly command-line
interface (rad) and network daemon (radicle-node).
Radicle was designed to be a secure, decentralized and powerful alternative to code forges such as GitHub and GitLab that preserves user sovereignty and freedom.
Installation
Requirements
- Linux or Unix based operating system.
- Git 2.34 or later

Running
Systemd unit files are provided for the node and HTTP daemon under the
/systemd folder. They can be used as a starting point for further
customization.
Additionally, a Dockerfile is included under both crates.
