git
My project is six months old and git is very very slow. We track around 30 files which are of size 5 MB to 50 MB. Those are binary files and we keep them in git. I believe those files are making git slow.
Is there a way to kill all files of size > 5MB from the repository. I know I would lose all of these files and that is okay with me.
Ideally I would like a command that would list all the big files ( > 5MB) . I can see the list and then I say okay go ahead and delete those files and make git faster.
