Compress git repos (git gc) recursively

Like most i have a src folder where most my repos are, I notice a big HDD space decrease working on projects with bigger groups (many commits a day). I bumped into git gc --agressive, which is great, but i wanted to run trough all repos since it's non destructive.

PS: I'm not a dev, I'm sure there is better ways of writing this.

Preview

As a one liner:
find -name .git -execdir git gc --aggressive ";"
Even tho this one is fancier
