Binder projects should not use git-lfs?

Binder

I use git-lfs in https://github.com/hannari-python/tutorial
And I tried to build the repository with mybinder.org.

But the build failed like

Does it mean that projects that build with binder should not use git-lfs?

I’m not sure if we do anything special to help/not help with git-lfs support. I think we don’t do anything special, so the default behaviour of git would apply.

The error message says something about being out of quota. Does someone know if this quota is based on the account owning the repository (hannari-python) or is it the account fetching the repository (maybe based on mybinder.org’s IP?).

Sorry for bothering you.

It was because the bandwidth of git-lfs-data on github exceeded the limit.
The Binder build now works well after I deleted the git-lfs data from the repository.

No worries. Glad we found a solution so quickly :smiley:
