First, analyze the git storage in the directory with: git filter-repo --analyze Then the large files can be removed from git history using git filter-repo as follows: git filter-repo --strip-blobs-bigger-than 10M This removes all files larger than 10MB from .git/objects/ directory. You may have to use --force argument, if the repository is not a fresh clone. The command will also remove the origin remote, so you will need to readd it!...

So that we don’t have to write the passphrase each time we do git commit ! Add this to the bash file : env=~/.ssh/agent.env agent_load_env () { test -f "$env" && . "$env" >| /dev/null ; } agent_start () { (umask 077; ssh-agent >| "$env") . "$env" >| /dev/null ; } agent_load_env # agent_run_state: 0=agent running w/ key; 1=agent w/o key; 2= agent not running agent_run_state=$(ssh-add -l >| /dev/null 2>&1; echo $?...
Update 2025/04/24 Changed to eza instead exa for alias for ls commands with icons, because the exa package is no longer supported. Thus, # map exa commands to normal ls commands alias ll="eza -l -g --icons" alias li="eza --icons" alias lt="eza --tree --icons -a -I '.git|__pycache__|.mypy_cache|.ipynb_checkpoints'" The full ~/.zshrc file now is: # If you come from bash you might have to change your $PATH. # export PATH=$HOME/bin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH # Path to your oh-my-zsh installation....
