How to find the N largest files in a git repository?

Question

I wanted to find the 10 largest files in my repository. The script I came up with is as follows:

REP_HOME_DIR=
max_huge_files=         


        

Answer 1

For completion, here's the method I found:

ls -lSh `git ls-files` | head

The optional -h prints the size in human-readable format.
