The CATO repository contained the binaries of the current and previous CATO versions. Combined with version control this resulted in a repository size of around 1.7GB. Removing the binaries from the repository (and history using BFG Repo-cleaner) will reduce the repository size to ~150MB. As an alternative, binaries can be distributed using the releases feature of GitHub.
[x] Test the use of BFG-cleaner on a private clone of this repository.
[x] Make a local backup of the repository before BFG-cleaner is applied.
After merging this branch into the main branch, I will apply BFG-cleaner and perform a forced push to override the commit history to remove the bin folder also from the repository history.
