文件 admin config.zip 为 169.57 MB； 这超过了 GitHub 的文件大小限制 100.00 MB

Question

I was copying some files in my folder and by mistakenly I added 169.57MB zip file and because of not knowing about the zip file I run git command git add. and git commit -m "new feature added" and finally git push origin bugSolver-214

and when the process was running I saw zip file and terminated the process in middle by doing ctrl + c and delete the zip file and again done above steps git add. git commit -m "new feature added" git push origin bugSolver-214

I saw this msg

remote: error: Trace: cf3cf1a67efcc5bc0461f8937f71d0f505487379cc1a3c870b480c7cf60126a7
remote: error: See http://git.io/iEPt8g for more information.
remote: error: File admin config.zip is 169.57 MB; this exceeds GitHub's file size limit of 100.00 MB
remote: error: GH001: Large files detected. You may want to try Git Large File Storage - https://git-lfs.github.com.

As I already removed the permanently zip file I can't see how I can remove admin config.zip file

So I made some changes in my code and tried to commit again but it still showing me same issue

I searched inte.net created new branch but same error even tried git reset. but no help

even tried this to git rm --cached "admin config.zip"

fatal: pathspec 'admin config.zip' did not match any files

is there any way I can remove that admin config.zip file and commit my code again

Answer 1

One option, for getting rid of large files in past commits, is to use git filter-repo (python-based, to be installed first )

And use some content-based filtering :

If you want to filter out all files bigger than a certain size, you can use --strip-blobs-bigger-than with some size ( K , M , and G suffixes are recognized), eg:

 git filter-repo --strip-blobs-bigger-than 100M

Then a git push --force will update your branch (which is fine if you are the only one working on it)

---

In your case though, if this was done recently (just in the last commit), you could:

git reset --soft @~1
echo "*.zip">> .gitignore
git add .
git commit -m "re-add everything except zip files"
git push --force
