This video is what i needed. Thanks for this Matt.

[@SpeedTutor]

You're very welcome Jon! What are you working on?

[@nirangasithara]

What do you suggest for big projects with larger files ?

[@SpeedTutor]

How big are your individual files? You can use Git lfs for larger files, although people have issues. Unity do have their own version control which supports upto 5GB for free and then additional as it goes forward. You could still make local backups of your own work but depends if you're wanting to collaborate with others?

@@SpeedTutor I am colloborating with other developers currently. I have tried github in the past. But had issues with files that are larger than 70 - 80MBs. Then I jumped into Plastic SCM. Which get the job done but quite annoying at times. Github is my favourite for non unity project developments. Wish I could keep using github.

[@SpeedTutor]

What's your major issue with Plastic SCM? I'm just curious :)

@@SpeedTutor i am using lfs but still have an issue that tells me file above 100mb can't be pushed , I'm trying to change the limit but no success because I can't see the admin area in my gitlab (I'm using it because it gives you 20GB for ur project)

[@sir.niklas2090]

@@Spartinus A single file cannot be above 100mb. Either your LFS is not tracking your file, or you file is just THAT large. Github will no longer accept your push until you lower the singular file size its complaining about. This is a GitHub only relation, Git will work with it no matter what. They are two separate things.

@@SpeedTutor U seem stressed, I hope you are okay though

[@SpeedTutor]

What gave you that idea? I'm doing fine. I hope you're keeping well too :)

[@christophertuczai3365]

Why would you not wanna include the unity files?

[@SpeedTutor]

Certain files like things found in the Library folder aren't required to be kept around, they're just temporary. They usually cost the most storage space. If you do delete that folder Unity will rebuild those files when you re-open for the first time :)
