"packfile cannot be mapped: Cannot allocate memory"

If you encounter the error packfile ./.git/objects/pack/{hash}.pack cannot be mapped: Cannot allocate memory while running your application on a shared virtual server due to the project size increase, you can resolve it by adjusting Git settings.

To prevent this error, you can optimize Git by dividing the .pack files into smaller sizes. Use the following commands to address this problem:

git config pack.windowMemory "100m"
git config pack.packSizeLimit "100m"

After adjusting the Git configurations, it's recommended to clean up the pack file by executing the following command:

git gc --prune=now
