Hey everyone, so I updated the code for one of my HF space  
During which I had added a few images in `image` folder;

Then I had commited these changes, but when I tried to push the code, I got this error:

```bash
remote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------
remote: Your push was rejected because it contains binary files.
remote: Please use https://git-lfs.github.com/ to store binary files.
remote: See also: https://hf.co/docs/hub/repositories-getting-started#terminal
remote:
remote: Offending files:
remote: - images/teddy.jpg (ref: refs/heads/main)
remote: ----------------------------------------------

```

Since the image files were the `Offending files`,  
I removed them from getting tracked by git using the command  
`git rm -r --cached FolderName`  
And updated the `.gitignore` with the `image` folder.

But I still recieved the same error when trying to push, even though the `image` folder is no more getting tracked by git.

**How may I resolve this issue?**

[_Additional Question_]: Since I was trying to upload the `images` for hf space example inference, do I need to use `git-lfs` as recommended in the error message or is there some other way?

The above issue was resolved with the help of a similar previous issue.  
Link - [Git LFS fail for Spaces with Github Workflow](https://discuss.huggingface.co/t/git-lfs-fail-for-spaces-with-github-workflow/16642)

The issue was apparently a common error of not filtering the “offensive files” from the git history.  
refer - [Nevermind, found an answer to remove git history of all large file by running the following git command](https://discuss.huggingface.co/t/git-lfs-fail-for-spaces-with-github-workflow/16642/7)

Thanks to all the contributors of the earlier issue/fix.
