When I investigated that problem, I found that the former back-end developer had uploaded a database dump to the current repository. That database contains a lot of files that are bigger than 100 MB. But GitHub blocks files larger than 100 MB. So we need to remove those big files before pushing this repository to GitHub.

I need help how to delete that big files in the bitbucket history

Thank You

See here: https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/removing-sensitive-data-from-a-repository The process for too large files is the same, you can ignore the parts about making sure they're gone from all caches too.

The generally recommended (by the Git docs) approach for bulk editing history is git-filter-repo, the second tool described in that documentation.

Mind that editing history will change all commit IDs after the first edited commit. ⚠️
