File size limitations

If you try to commit large files to your git repository, you will get the error 413 Request Entity Too Large. To avoid this problem, you can use Git Large File Storage. The simplest way to use git-lfs, is by identifying specific file types that should be tracked by git-lfs. For example, if you have large mpeg videos on your website, you might run the command git lfs track "*.mpg"  to track all files with an mpg extension with git-lfs.
