According to GitHub's new file size limit (also: working with large files), instituted only hours ago, GitHub now has new policies of a 1GB filesize repository, warnings for pushes of files over 50 MB and complete rejection for fileuploads of 100MB.

You have a few options, but not many:

• Upload your 100 MB+ files to a different service and share with that instead
• Reduce the filesize of problematic files
• Find a new repository
