3 days ago I stupidly added a 215MB file to my project and included it into the VCS.
It was pushed to GitHub. Where I saw it in its original size.
I have since tried to delete it and push I keep getting push failures saying it is larger than the limit of 100MB.
I do not see it in my local repo but I guess it is trying to push a prior commit where I added it. (how it ever got to GitHub I do not understand but …).
I just want to get it removed from everyplace and go on with my project.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I did not want to clutter up the above with all my attempts to correct this situation. I tried increasing the buffer and installing LFS (and migrating the existing file to LFS)
and at least that got rid of the RPC failed the remote hung up unexpectantly.
I also tried to go to githup and edit the file down to a few bytes but to no avail.
So I am stuck.
I saw a suggestion to clone the project but I would only want to do that as a last resort (would that even work?).
Finally, As I mentioned I increase the post buffer - how do I set it back to default size? (I assume I should???).
Thanks
