Currently, assets (e.g. graphs, maps, tables, widgets, photos) are stored in the main repository. This is not a good idea because we will eventually exceed the repository file sizes constraints imposed by GitHub (2GB IIRC), so we should store these assets using a file storage service. It looks like Box could be good (https://www.box.com/home) because we get 10GB free (https://www.box.com/pricing/individual) and there is an R package for programmatic ally interacting with Box (https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/boxr/index.html)
