Thanks for the report @paulsmithkc , your expected behaviors seem spot on. We don't support template repos with files greater than 10MB right now, but we would like to surface these errors earlier in GitHub Classroom as you noted. I'll update this issue when we fix this up, but for now, your workaround of recreating the assignment will work.
Describe the bug I created an assignment with a base repo. When students attempted to accept the assignment they received the following error message:
We were unable to clone <base repo> contents into <student repo>. The template you used includes files that are larger than 10 megabytes. Please remove those files from the template and try again.
I removed the files that were bigger than 10MB and pushed the changes to the base repo. However, students were unable to re-accept the assignment. I ended up having to completely recreate the assignment in GitHub Classroom to work around this.
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
We were unable to clone <base repo> contents into <student repo>. The template you used includes files that are larger than 10 megabytes. Please remove those files from the template and try again.
