Remove docs/icons/Illustrator files #119

Open aendra-rininsland opened 6 years ago

This is like ~100mb of AI files that is making cloning the repo brutally slow, almost to the point that people are going to think Vocab is broken on the initial clone.

Solutions:

I've discussed this with @sdbernard a bit, and although it's not overly painful to move everything to GitHub LFS, it will involve rewriting the commit history, which will break everyone's local repo.

Thus, everyone will need to re-clone after we do this. I'm thus putting it off until @alansmithy returns so we can figure out how to do this in the least interruptive way possible.

Have we decided what to do with this? I suggest we move them to them to their own folder in the Graphics-resources VVT folder

aendra-rininsland commented 6 years ago

@bobhaslett Even if we move them out of the Git repo, we'll still need to rewrite history to remove them fully. It's possible the solution will ultimately be just to have everyone delete the repo and reclone after we fix this.

Has this issue been resolved, I thinkl we just ended up with the SVG files. Can we close this?

aendra-rininsland commented 6 years ago

Nope, we still need to rewrite history at some point to fully remove the files from the repo. I'm waiting for a good moment as it will likely need some on-site support for people wanting to update their local repos.
