git history of this repository is too huge

[nicosomb]

I just cloned a fork of this project on my computer and the .git folder weighs 368M. The whole folder weighs 388M. It's due to old pictures used with the demo of this project.

I think that a cleanup is necessary in the git history.

You can have a look to this documentation to know how do that https://www.phase2technology.com/blog/removing-large-files-git-bfg

I was going to do it, but I don't know what you want to keep.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Long ago we did some cleanup on the docker image and managed to reduce the image size by a lot (it used to be more than 1GB due to similar reasons) but we didn't really look at the git history.

I stripped everything bigger than 2MB.

du -hs photo-stream/.git
375M    photo-stream/.git

du -hs photo-stream-new/.git
 61M    photo-stream-new/.git

Looks good?! :)
