Problem

With the inclusion of several large PDF and ZIP files, this repo is getting quite large. That has caused problems for me pulling and pushing, and I expect the problem to get worse as we add more reports and possibly other types of large files.

Proposed Solution

I propose we try using Git LFS. There are some nice guides for how to:

  1. Install Git LFS: https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/working-with-files/managing-large-files/installing-git-large-file-storage
  2. Configure Git LFS for specific file types: https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/working-with-files/managing-large-files/configuring-git-large-file-storage
  3. Move existing files in your repository to Git LFS storage: https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/working-with-files/managing-large-files/moving-a-file-in-your-repository-to-git-large-file-storage
