Binary files in repo #64

Closed johnomotani closed 4 years ago

johnomotani commented 5 years ago

There are some .nc files in the repo that were originally for testing, but are no longer needed as we create temporary files for tests. They make the repo ~70MB to download, so we should remove them. This requires re-writing the repo history, as described here https://help.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/removing-sensitive-data-from-a-repository It is recommended to do this with all PRs closed. We're aiming to do this before the BOUT++ workshop next week, before getting new users, as existing users will need to re-clone or reset/rebase their copies of xBOUT.

Thanks for merging everything @TomNicholas @rdoyle45!

I'll do this history re-write now. I'll fork a back-up onto my github before I do. Wouldn't hurt for you to do the same :-)

Done! Anyone planning to submit Pull Requests to xBOUT should now clone a fresh copy of the repo to ensure binary files don't get added back to the history by mistake.
