Git Push Hangs Writing Objects

Question

I am starting up a new React Native project, and I have gone through many steps to push my current branch. I have already converted over to SSH from https, already run git config --global http.postBuffer 524288000 , pushed a clone of master successfully (no proxy issues or firewall problems), and updated my .gitignore to be more encompassing of files I dont need to upload to Github. I am afraid there is something too large causing my push to hang while writing objects.

I write: git push -u origin branchName

My terminal responds with:

Enumerating objects: 240, done.
Counting objects: 100% (240/240), done.
Delta compression using up to 16 threads
Compressing objects: 100% (131/131), done.
Writing objects:  61% (131/213), 99.58 MiB | 725.00 KiB/s

The writing objects climbs to 61% and then sits there, the MiB continues to climb but never does anything but continue to grow.

Is there a way to see file sizes in git or see the current object being written to Github using push? I am afraid something in my android or ios folders is causing this problem. I have also already cleared the git cache before trying to add the files and push. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Lastly, here is my .gitignore :

Solved this: What you do is first run: git rev-list --objects --all | git cat-file --batch-check='%(objecttype) %(objectname) %(objectsize) %(rest)' | sed -n 's/^blob //p' | sort --numeric-sort --key=2 | cut -c 1-12,41- | $(command -v gnumfmt || echo numfmt) --field=2 --to=iec-i --suffix=B --padding=7 --round=nearest git rev-list --objects --all | git cat-file --batch-check='%(objecttype) %(objectname) %(objectsize) %(rest)' | sed -n 's/^blob //p' | sort --numeric-sort --key=2 | cut -c 1-12,41- | $(command -v gnumfmt || echo numfmt) --field=2 --to=iec-i --suffix=B --padding=7 --round=nearest git rev-list --objects --all | git cat-file --batch-check='%(objecttype) %(objectname) %(objectsize) %(rest)' | sed -n 's/^blob //p' | sort --numeric-sort --key=2 | cut -c 1-12,41- | $(command -v gnumfmt || echo numfmt) --field=2 --to=iec-i --suffix=B --padding=7 --round=nearest to get a list of files in your cache for git. Then for any file that comes back you want gone, run git filter-branch -f --tree-filter 'rm -rf android/java_pid63813.hprof /file/path/1 /file/path/2...etc' HEAD . Once that is clean, push and it should work!
