We had a repo that was at one point 25GB. It had Git LFS turned on but the files weren’t stored outside of BitBucket. Whenever a build was run in Bamboo, it would choke big time.

We found that we could move the large files to Artifactory as it has Git LFS support.

But the problem was the entire history that did not have Artifactory pointers. Every clone included the large files (for some reason the filter functionality wouldn’t work for us - it was a large repo and it it had hundreds of users amongst other problems)

Anyways what we ended up doing was closing that repo and opening a new one with the large files stripped.

Nitpick in the authors page:

“ Nowadays, there’s a free tier, but you’re dependent on the whims of GitHub to set pricing. Today, a 50GB repo on GitHub will cost $40/year for storage”
