Answer 1

Adding to the previous answers:

git filter-branch -f --index-filter 'git rm --cached --ignore-unmatch path_to_the_file/your_big_file'

Additionally, when I tried to pull I got "Refusing to merge unrelated histories".

Solution was to use:

git pull origin branch_name --allow-unrelated-histories

Then solve your possible conflicts, and push this time without the big_file.
