How can I troubleshoot a 'Cannot push to GitHub, exceeds file size limit' error?
GitHub limits file size to 100MB. Use Git LFS to track large files or reduce file sizes to meet GitHub's requirements.
The 'Cannot push to GitHub, exceeds file size limit' error arises because GitHub enforces a maximum file size limit of 100MB per file for repositories. If you need to include large files such as media assets or data files, consider using Git Large File Storage (LFS), which allows GitHub to manage large files separately from the main repository. Install Git LFS and track files by running git lfs track '*.filetype', then reattempt the push. Alternatively, compressing files or breaking them into smaller parts might help meet the size requirement. For data-driven projects, consider storing large files externally, in cloud storage or databases, to maintain efficient repository size and avoid GitHub’s file size restrictions.
