Context:

  1. Working on a fork of kiwi (https://github.com/kiwibrowser/src)

  2. Created a script from answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/51468389/1079483

  3. Added token to url for convenience:

    $ git remote set-url origin https://:@github.com/path/to/repo.git

  4. Ran push; after a few hours the above error was thrown?

  • `remote: fatal: pack exceeds maximum allowed size` is the key line: GitHub set a limit on how big a push you can do (along with limits on individual file sizes and other limits). When you get this, your only option is to break your push into smaller pieces, pushing each one as you go. – torek Aug 27 '21 at 07:00

On GitHub.com the size limit is 100MB https://docs.github.com/en/github/managing-large-files/working-with-large-files/conditions-for-large-files

If you have Github Enterprise Server you can change the size limit if you have the permissions to do so. https://docs.github.com/en/enterprise-server@3.1/github/managing-large-files/working-with-large-files/conditions-for-large-files

If some of these files are binary files, you could use Git LFS?
