remote: error: GH001: Large files detected. You may want to try Git Large File Storage - https://git-lfs.github.com. remote: error: Trace: 7d51855d4f834a90c5a5a526e93d2668 remote: error: See http://git.io/iEPt8g for more information. remote: error: File coverage/sensitivity/simulated.bed is 102.00 MB; this exceeds GitHub's file size limit of 100.00 MB |
Here, you see the path of the file (coverage/sensitivity/simualted.bed).
So, the solution is actually quite simple (when you know it): you can use the filter-branch command as follows:

git filter-branch --tree-filter 'rm -rf path/to/your/file' HEAD git push |
thank you!
You don’t know how much I appreciate this! I’m glad I found you on google.
