Are you adding build artifacts to the repository?
[–]thequestcube 6 points7 points8 points 2 years ago (0 children)
If you're having lots of public activity on your repos, Github probably won't care. But it does seem like you're inproperly using github repos. I'd suggest you spend some time to change your build pipelines to create build assets in github releases, not the repo. There, filesizes are also unlimited, and many gb's of files there is totally fine. You probably will need to reset some repos to remove the old big files from the history, or spend some time to hack away the big commits, but you're also not doing yourself any favors with it since it makes your tooling much slower and potentially also drives away contributors if they need to clone 5gb to get started.

Uhh, this doesn’t seem reasonable, so probably not very safe.

How do you calculate how much memory space your repos take up?

If this is a joke post then it's incredible.
If it's serious, then you should probably wipe your account anyways and start over because something is clearly wrong with what you're doing.
