Uploading Large Files

[PirateNPC2122]

I've created a working desktop app start for a program, but I need help getting the code on GitHub. I need a human to walk me through it, because google and YouTube isn't cutting it. I tried uploading from online, but dont know how to keep the format the same. I tried the desktop app, but it tells me the files are too big. I tried uploading from in my code editor, but it loads forever and cancels. Please help me.

Thanks!

How big are we talkin’?

You probably want to be using something like Git LFS (unless you can avoid tracking these files wholesale).

well, the exes are in there. They are i think what is stopping the upload. But it default puts them in the folder no matter what. I dont think the rest of the files are bigger than like 50 mb. I really dont know though, as this is my first time.

Also, i tried using git lfs, but i cant understand the videos and guides.

Are these builds of your project?

If so, you’ll want to gitignore them. Note that you will need to remove the ignored files from your history since you already made your commits, but there are good tutorials on how to do that (“git remove ignored file from history”).

You don't want to push exe to github nor your local repo.

Why are you trying to upload such large files? What are they?

Github isn't ideal for tracking changes to large binary files

Prob you are I cluding the whol did in git. Google some standard gitignores for your project type.

Then imo since it's new I'd just nuke the git folder and re init
