title: git lfs not working properly for files larger than 100MB
body: <p>I was suggested by git to use git lfs for large files. After I tracked them with git lfs and checked if they are added to .gitattribute I still get the error that files are larger than 100MB for the same exact files. What are the suggestions here and how I can solve this problem? I would need to upload these large files as part of the project to github as well.</p>
