I want to reduce my repository's size, so I'm using

git push --force -u origin master

but getting an error:

remote: repository is in read-only mode (over 2 GB size limit).

Please point me, what I'm doing wrong. Thank you in advance.

I didn't use git lfs while working in this repo. Will git lfs help anyway? – Occam's chainsaw Oct 01 '18 at 11:08
I don’t actually know. I’ve never used it myself. – evolutionxbox Oct 01 '18 at 11:08
