I'm new to the git / github interface and I had a problem that I can't solve. I added a file that exceeds the github size limit (I didn't know there was a limit) and when I proceeded with the routine of committing the following error:

$ git push -u origin master

Note 1 - git version 2.21.0.windows.1; Note 2 - as the file was not necessary for the repository, as soon as the problem arose, I deleted the file from the directory and so on; Note 3 - even with the problem, I continue to develop the work. So, the solution must maintain the current stage of the work. Thanks

as the file was not necessary for the repository, as soon as the problem arose,

That might not be enough if the file was previously committed.

Try the new git filter-repo, which will replace the old git filter-branch or BFG

You can use to remove any big file from the repository history

git filter-repo --strip-blobs-bigger-than 10M

Replace 10M by the appropriate size.

  • I still have a problem, friend. $ git filter-repo --strip-blobs-bigger-than 100M warning: garbage found: .git/objects/ea/tmp_obj_vk2SAa Aborting: Refusing to overwrite repo history since this does not look like a fresh clone. (expected freshly packed repo) To override, use --force. I really don't know how to act. – Renato G. Cruz Apr 19 '20 at 13:54

    @RenatoG.Cruz Try it first on a fresh clone. – VonC Apr 19 '20 at 14:08
