Thats a lot of work without first reading the man page:

Usually git-gc packs refs, expires old reflog entries, packs loose
objects, and removes old rerere records. Removal of unreferenced
loose objects is an unsafe operation while other git operations are
in progress, so it is not done by default. Pass this option if you
want it, and only when you know nobody else is creating new objects
in the repository at the same time (e.g. never use this option in a
cron script).
