I think it’s generally agreed upon that large files that change often do not belong while small files that never change are fine. But there’s still a lot of middle ground where the answer is not so clear to me.

So what’s your stance on this? Where do you draw the line?

    If it’s a build artifact, put it in a registry. If it’s resource type files, Git LFS can be used if it’s not an absolute ton.

      This. If the file can be generated from the repository it should not be put inside it, but if you need it to build the project it should (unless it is an easy to install external dependency that should be declared in a Readme file).
