Git status out of memory

Question

I have a fairly large repository with large files in it. I was working on my local branch for a few days and decided to push today. Unfortunately, "git status" returns an out of memory error. I tried changing a few memory allocation sizes in the config files without luck. What am I doing wrong ? Something I can do ?

Answer 1

Just add part by part when you push.

Like so :

Part one

git add folder-one/*
git commit -m 'Message'
git push

Part two

git add folder-two/*
git commit -m 'Message'
git push
