Use Git LFS for large files (PPTX, PDF, ...) #11

Description

@achim-w

Quick question, if it was discussed to use Git LFS (or something similar) for large files? E.g. the PowerPoint template (Skills4EOSC-presentation-template_2023_05.pptx) in the repository is about 10 MB, if you save multiple versions of such files, the repository will get a bit bloated over time...

Setting up GIT LFS is quite easy, but the GitHub actions/GitLab CI pipeline would have to be updated and I guess also the training materials would need an update. But I guess if you want to do the switch, then it's better now then later, otherwise the big files will already be in the Git history (unless the history is rewritten, which will break current forks).
