Unable to migrate Azure Git Repo to Githhub Repos due to large file size

DevOps
#1

I am using GitHub Import functionality to import repo from azure repo but it is failing as file size os of 500mb. can you please help/support on this ?

Any leads would be appreciated

According to the documentation

  • GitHub Importer does not move Git Large File Storage (LFS) objects from the source repository to the target repository. If you use Git LFS, you will need to either convert the Git LFS objects to regular files tracked by Git before running the migration, or move the Git LFS objects to the new repository separately after running the migration.

A 500mb file (which really should not be in Git at that size), will be an LFS object. I have not used the github importer before so I cannot tell you what the exact steps are, but the statement above describes the problem

Appreciate you response on this, we have decided to remove those files which is causing issue.

Thanks!!
