Git-lfs: Git still pushing big file

[MaxiMax07]

Hi,

I'm using Ubuntu 16.04. I have an issue I can't quite understand. The git lfs already sent de two files to the lfs server. However, git seems to continue to send the big files to the repo. Leaving the same issue as before I installed lfs.

git push origin master

When I do git lfs ls-files

My files are followed as I wanted.

2bb20c3350 * drone.stl
185290d15b * test.stl

Your repository still has drone.stl in the git history, even if a more recent commit used LFS. I think the easiest thing would be to roll things back to the version on github, and then re-apply the changes as a single squashed commit. Let me know if you need help with that.

One thing we could do going forward to address this issue is teach lfs ls-files to warn about situations like these, though I'm not sure if we can do that quickly without maintaining a local cache.

Maybe git lfs ls-files --warn-untracked or similar?

HI @MaxiMax07, a little bit of an update. Since you've opened this, Git LFS has started shipping with the git lfs migrate command, which can help you easily remove large files from your repository's history. You can give this a shot with:

$ git lfs migrate import --include=path/to/file
# ...

Please let me know if you have any issues!
