Github上传文件过大(“yowza, that’s a big file. try again with a file smaller than 25mb.")

问题描述

当在Git Bash中执行git push向github上传一个PDF文件时，一直卡在writing(75%)，试了好多次都不行。

解决思路

1. 直接从Github网站上传文件，点击Upload files，一顿操作，然后惊喜地得到一个很有用的报错信息

yowza, that’s a big file. try again with a file smaller than 25mb.

2. Google之，在Quaro上得到了想要的答案，用Git Large File Storage来解决这个问题

Git Large File Storage

GithubHelp Working with large files和Versioning large files两篇文章都提出了用GLFS来解决上传文件大小限制的问题：用Github网站直接上传的限制是25MB，使用git push命令的限制是100MB。以下是Quaro答案中的一个回答：

You can upload files up to 100MB. You will get a warning at 50. However, according to What is my disk quota?, if you upload a file using your browser, the limit is 25MB.
What you can do and how you can do it is detailed in Working with large filesand Versioning large files

那么接下来只要根据git lfs的教程一步一步地操作就行了。
