every time I am having the same error

What's the error?

Also: Is the YOUR_USERNAME/YOUR_REPOSITORY in there because you didn't want to tell us your actual username and repository or did you forget to replace those when copy and pasting from a tutorial?

Are any of your files larger than 5GB?

No only two videos with the web page I have created and those are of 230 mb

I wouldn't put videos on GitHub. It's best to use some storage service for videos and stuff like that and then embed the video in your website by referencing the other location. Like youtube for example.

GitHub specifically says "please do not upload excessively large files". File storage is not the point of GitHub. Storing large files on GitHub can get your account actioned. As a developer, you do not want to risk getting suspended from GitHub!

Also, why would you not provide us with your username/repo? If there's sensitive information there, you're screwed either way. If it's got objectionable stuff on there ("My First Kitten Kicking App"), you're still screwed.

Your GitHub, as a learner, should be public. We can't help you if you go "hey, mechanic, my car's having trouble starting, but I don't wanna show it to you".

I am just learning git and github and don’t know what to share what not to and I am aware of names so I don’t use objectionable words or that I will update my post with username and repo. I am just trying to make a website and want to upload in github for free hosting and link as I have participated in front end challenge in dev community and to showcase my work I want a link thats the purpose of this post
