Question

Body

I want to mirror the git repository from another location to github, because the historical submission contains files greater than 100MB, encountered synchronization failure, for some reason I can not reconstruct the history to use LFS management of these files, is there any way to lift this restriction?

1. Use GitHub Enterprise
   • If you are using GitHub Enterprise, you may be able to configure custom limits for file sizes.
   • Contact GitHub Support or your Enterprise administrator to check if this restriction can be lifted.

2. Host the Repository Elsewhere
   • If GitHub’s size restriction is a hard limitation for your use case, consider mirroring your repository to GitLab, Bitbucket, or self-hosted Git servers (e.g., Gitea, Gogs, or plain Git), which may have more relaxed size limits.
   • Example for mirroring:

   git clone --mirror <original-repo-url>
   cd <repo-name>
   git remote add new-origin <new-hosting-url>
   git push --mirror new-origin

You may register Github Enterprise or host the repo somewhere else, maybe gitlab, bitbucket, etc

Git LFS stores large files (like images, audio, videos, datasets) outside the main Git history, while keeping lightweight pointers in your repo.

📦 Step-by-Step to Use Git LFS
bash
Copy
Edit

Step 1: Install Git LFS

git lfs install

Step 2: Track the file type (e.g., all .mp4 or .zip files)

git lfs track "*.zip"

Step 3: Add the files as usual

git add .gitattributes
git add your-large-file.zip

Step 4: Commit and push

git commit -m "Add large file via Git LFS"
git push origin main
🔗 Git LFS Limits (on GitHub Free)
1 GB storage + 1 GB bandwidth per month

⚠️ Note:
GitHub doesn’t support disabling the 100 MB limit — even for private or Pro repos.

For very large files (like datasets, models, or video assets), consider external storage (e.g., AWS S3, Google Drive) and link/download in your code.
