Question

Git repository is large (31MB)

Closed this issue 9 years ago · 7 comments

Hi Christian,

I was able to reduce the size of the repo to 956 KB (The reason for that size is screencast.gif). If you like you can merge it from here

It won't make the repository smaller if I merge from your fork, right? So what did you do to reduce the size?

It is possible through git subtrees, but I wrote a small bash script that replicates the steps I did to reduce the size (run it in your local git folder)

Thanks, I just run your script. It should be okay now.

Hm, this removed the screencast.gif
That was not so nice

I am sorry, I assumed that the screencast was linked from somewere else, because the gif was not in the repo, when I cloned it.

Yeah, it was put into the gh_pages branch. Fortunately, I found it lying around here locally, so I made a new repository and just use this for the screencasts. Will probably also move the other screencasts there.
Thanks anyhow for the helpful script.

the screencast should be displayed now again. Thanks
