Git Push error (large files)

I have some video files in a local git repo that were preventing me from doing a push.

I have removed these files from my local repository using:

git rm static/video -r -f

but when I try to git push they are still preventing my branch to be pushed (since they are over the file size limit).

How can I fix this?

git push

The large files are still part of the history and you must remove it there. Look into using repo cleaner. – Tim Biegeleisen Jul 07 '17 at 09:24
In the future, consider using `git-lfs`..... – houtanb Jul 07 '17 at 09:26
