Git lfs - “this exceeds GitHub's file size limit of 100.00 MB”

Question

I have some csv files that are larger than github\'s file size limit of 100.00 MB. I have been trying to use the Git Large File Storage extension.

Answer 1

I had this error:

remote: error: File client/static/static-version/20171221_221446.psd is 223.61 MB; this exceeds GitHub's file size limit of 100.00 MB

And because I already removed this file from this folder, created .gitignore file and tried to commit couple times, I didn't know that it was cached, I could not push to github. In my case helped:

git filter-branch --index-filter 'git rm --cached --ignore-unmatch client/static/static-version/20171221_221446.psd'

Where I placed full file path(from error above) to remove it from cache. After that, push was made successfully
