Unable to git push even after git lfs install

Question

Scenario 1:

• Tried to push file size > 100MB in github
• File > 100MB not allowed to push.Valid error. Agreed
• ok,use git lfs
• Still same error
• whats wrong here
• Below pics related to 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

Answer 1

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.
