I accidently tried to push a large file to git and I got the following error message:

 ! [remote rejected] CopasiVersion19 -> CopasiVersion19 (pre-receive hook declined)
error: failed to push some refs to 'https://github.com/CiaranWelsh/PyCoTools.git'

I have since remove this file from both of my branches but I still keep getting the same error and therefore can't push any of my code. Does anybody have any ideas on what to do here?

update

Following a suggestion in comments 

$ git rm --cached /Examples/Fit1Dir/smad7_not_reproduced_alternative/file.csv

produces: 

fatal: pathspec 'pycotools/Examples/Fit1Dir/smad7_not_reproduced_alternative/file.csv' did not match any files

  • Thank you, I tried step 1 of your suggestion and it appears git cannot find the file. – CiaranWelsh Oct 06 '17 at 14:37
