Unable to git push even after git lfs install

Question

Scenario 1:

Scenario 2:

Cloned a new repo
Created a new file > 100 MB
Not yet pushed. I know it will be a problem
do the git lfs install&track of big file and do git add&commit
now if i git push, success, all ok . No issues. I can see the big file in github
check it in https://github.com/sivakumar-j-secondary-ac/scenario-2

so What's wrong in the "Scenario 1", if git lfs is working in scenario-2

Is a limit of Github. See it post stackoverflow.com/a/59479166/8019211 — Alvaro Gili

yes its a github limit. But we can overcome that with git lfs.. i am facing error when i use git lfs .. thats the reason of this question.. Note: I am able to use git lfs without issues.. see scenario 2 above — Sivakumarj

You will have to explicitly migrate them into Git LFS with

git lfs migrate import --include="path_to_file

instead of just tracking. Tracking does not work when files exist in the repository.

Hope this helps.
