Repository is too large

Issue #2 resolved
Jonathan Sternberg created an issue

The repository commits a 775 MB file in the initial commit. Despite the very small number of commits at the moment, this makes the repository take up approximately 1 GB of space when checked out and requires downloading approximately 250 MB on an initial checkout.

This is impractical. Please prune the history of this repository to remove the offending file. It will require changing history, but it's likely worth doing while this project is still young.

    Thanks for the feedback. The large files are exported images that are used for testing so that we don't have external dependencies in our build pipeline. I'll look at using some smaller images.

    It looks like it already uses some smaller images, but as long as the initial commit contains a 775 MB image, the repository is always going to be a very large size.

    Fixed by removing the large files from git history. If you've cloned the repo you'll have to discard your local copy.
