Describe your question

I'm having issue publishing a few asset files which are >100MB in size, which require git-lfs.

remote: error: File <large-file> is 108.69 MB; this exceeds GitHub's file size limit of 100.00 MB

But I don't know how do I set that, because a temporary git repository is made by the action, committed and pushed. Is there a way to push a few command(s) in the end of Prepare publishing assets step (e.g. git lfs install && git lfs track '*.mp4')?

Additional context.

There is no way to push the files over 100MB to GitHub.

About large files on GitHub - GitHub Docs
GitHub blocks pushes that exceed 100 MB.

I recommend you the approach like this: #752

• Upload the image/movie to an issue comment, and we will get the URL of the file
• Load the image/movie with the URL

@Animeshz I would be interested in you taking a look at #758 ?

[peaceiris]

Please check out the following tips first!

Upload image/movie as githubusercontent

I recommend this approach again.

GitHub Pages does not support files under Git LFS

Note

• Git LFS cannot be used with GitHub Pages sites.
• Git LFS cannot be used with template repositories.

About Git Large File Storage - GitHub Docs

Downloading object under LFS

For downloading files under Git LFS, we can use the lfs option of the actions/checkout.

https://github.com/actions/checkout/blob/2541b1294d2704b0964813337f33b291d3f8596b/action.yml#L59-L61
