I am trying to migrate history for a repo with large files (>100mb) into GitHub with the following command :
git lfs migrate import --include="*.gif"
git push origin master --force
Uploading LFS objects is successful. I get the following error:
remote: fatal: pack exceeds maximum allowed size (2.00 GiB) error: remote unpack failed: index-pack abnormal exit
I tried to do pushes in chunks with git push origin <commit>:refs/heads/master -f. But one of the files seems to be in the history which was deleted in a later commit.
remote: error: File /World/Maps/map_4.fbx is 337.34 MB; this exceeds GitHub's file size limit of 100.00 MB
This file is not getting tracked under: git lfs ls-files
I have already tried to manually add a line to the .gitattributes. Is there a way to successfully recognise this file or ignore it during push altogether?
I had to execute git lfs push --all origin master to add the additional files that were added later appended into .gitattributes. Partial push is now working.
