I can't upload my code to github. error: remote: error: File vendor/firefox/libxul.so is 143.71 MB; this exceeds GitHub's file size limit of 100.00 MB. But such a file has not been in the folder for a long time, it has been deleted.

    Git must push the whole history. Even if you've `git rm` the file it remains in history. It must be removed from your history. Does this answer your question?

  • I get error: Cannot create a new backup. A previous backup already exists in refs/original/ Force overwriting the backup with -f. How to force overwrite a local copy with -f ?? – Alexander Sep 12 '22 at 19:49
  • Sorry, I don't know what that error is coming from. Ask another question, please. – Schwern Sep 12 '22 at 21:14
  • I entered the command **git filter-branch --tree-filter 'rm -f MY_FILE' HEAD**. This command from your [link](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2100907/how-to-remove-delete-a-large-file-from-commit-history-in-the-git-repository). I got an inscription: Cannot create a new backup. A previous backup already exists in refs/original/ Force overwriting the backup with -f. My question: What to do next? – Alexander Sep 13 '22 at 05:24
  • You can read the [`git-filter-branch` documentation](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-filter-branch) about what the backup is and what `-f` does. `git-filter-branch` is a complicated command, use the [BFG Repo Cleaner](https://stackoverflow.com/a/17890278/14660) instead. – Schwern Sep 13 '22 at 16:17
