Any way to gitignore by file size?

Question

I fairly regularly attempt to add/commit a file above 100Mb accidentally, then scramble to try and remember how to backtrack these errors. Is there any way to place a safeguard that just has the effect of skipping git add for files that are too large?

You could add a pre-commit hook that rejects big files. Not exactly ignored, but maybe good enough for your problem. — rodrigo, Jul 25 '19 at 22:23

You can typically gitignore only filenames, file patterns or folders - ignoring based on file sizes is not an available function afaik
