Im using Git Repository in Azure Devops for storing my PBIX files, each file size is around 1GB (approx). The repository size is growing in over the period of time. I wanted to reduce the repository size by deleting the older commit history. I want to retain the initial version of the commit and the last 6 months commit in my branch.

We do have an option of deleting the complete commit history by means of creating the Orphan branch.

Kindly let me know whether we have option for retaining the initial and last 6 months commits in git repository.
