I accidentally added and committed a file of size 633.39MB using git add and git commit. As a result, I encountered issues when trying to push the changes using git push. I then removed the 633.39MB file, but I still encountered the following error when attempting to push:

error: failed to push some refs to 'https://github.com/valexsyu/Reorder_nat.git'

I followed the steps mentioned in the documentation to use Git Large File Storage (LFS) and configured it properly. However, I'm still encountering the same error.
I would appreciate any assistance in resolving this issue.

Thank you.

How did you remove the file? If you did git rm and make another commit, the file is still part of the history. You'll need to use git rebase -i to change the repository history and fix the commit that added the file. See Git Tools - Rewriting History for details.

If you don't actually want to version that file you don't need LFS at all. 🙂

Thanks for your reply, I used the git reset --soft HEAD^ and solved the issue.

Try this

git filter-branch --force --index-filter \            19s 11:21:05
  'git rm --cached --ignore-unmatch PATH/FILE.EXE' \
  --prune-empty --tag-name-filter cat -- --all

Then

git push origin BRANCH --force --all
