Can't push with Git-large-files

Question

I have the file in my project, that more than 100 MB. I want to push it using git-lfs, but something went wrong and I receiving the same message from remote, that "this file exceeds GitHub's file size limit of 100.00 MB".

What I've done.

1. Downloaded git-lfs.
2. Installed it using brew.
3. Added files and patterns that should be tracked in the .gitattributes. 
4. Tried to push.

Now, my .gitattributes file have the following.

*.framework filter=lfs diff=lfs merge=lfs -text
ios/libs/** filter=lfs diff=lfs merge=lfs -text
ios/libs/GoogleMobileAds.framework/GoogleMobileAds filter=lfs diff=lfs merge=lfs -text
GoogleMobileAds filter=lfs diff=lfs merge=lfs -text
ios/libs/ filter=lfs diff=lfs merge=lfs -text

I need to push ios/libs/GoogleMobileAds.framework/GoogleMobileAd <- this file. And I tried to add it in various ways, but nothing helped.

Any ideas what I'm missed?

Thanks.

Perhaps you already added the file and committed it, then deleted it and added it to git-lfs? — Lasse V. Karlsen, Apr 01 '19 at 10:12

I solved my problem.

git add .gitattributes  isn't enough.

You need to push .gitattributes in order to be able to push large files to remote.

I reset my last commit, then added .gitattributes again and pushed it, after that, I was able to push the large file.

Thanks, @Sidharth Chhawchharia for the comment.

Make sure .gitattributes is tracked. You could do it by using:

git add .gitattributes

In case it is an existing repository, please refer this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/33633291/4190333

is this repository pre existing? I mean did you add git-lfs to an existing repo? – Sidharth Chhawchharia Apr 01 '19 at 10:05
Yes. The repo exists already, and I want to push a large file first time. – Gag Baghdasaryan Apr 01 '19 at 10:06

This helped me, just configured git LFS with:

git config http.postBuffer 524288000
git config lfs.contenttype 0
