Remove all traces of "git lfs". #255

Closed philipp-classen closed 2 years ago

philipp-classen commented 2 years ago

Note: Even if we migrated away, if you have git-lfs installed, it will still attempt to run git lfs after cloning. That results in an error (quota exceeded):

git clone https://github.com/whotracksme/whotracks.me.git
...

Account responsible for LFS bandwidth should purchase more data packs to restore access.

@y3ti I assume after that change, Jenkins could also drop the git lfs support:

wonder if we should rewrite git history to remove the big files

I think we will need to contact GitHub Support.:

If you need to purge a removed object and you are unable to delete the repository, please contact support for help. https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/working-with-files/managing-large-files/removing-files-from-git-large-file-storage
