Since I'm working on my Flutter project, I made a lot of operations that creates some files (generating bytecode, cache files, ... etc), and sometimes these generated files and executables are too large and exceed the allowed size on GitHub (100 MB).
Now I want to upload my project to GitHub but without uploading the generated files.
How can I clean my flutter project before pushing it?
Are you committing the generated app files? have you looked into .gitignores? they exclude files e.g. https://github.com/flutter/flutter/blob/master/.gitignore
but remove the Flutter repo-specific stuff, like this:
# Miscellaneous
*.class
*.log
*.pyc
*.swp
.DS_Store
.atom/
.buildlog/
.history
.svn/
# IntelliJ related
*.iml
*.ipr
*.iws
.idea/
# The .vscode folder contains launch configuration and tasks you configure in
# VS Code which you may wish to be included in version control, so this line
# is commented out by default.
