title: I need help working with large files on GitHub to help my School
body: <p>hope you are all doing okay!</p>
  <p>Well a little of context, I'm a of student CS and I'm coursing a programming class... We have had a lot of problems with my classmates and professor when it comes to managing the installations of different software needed for the class, because of COVID-19.</p>
  <p>Last week the teacher and my classmates were very frustrated, so I decided to try and do something... I managed to create a Virtual Image of the environment needed for our class and the teacher want's to test it so he can be sure it works and I need to store it inside GitHub for accessibility. The idea is to present it to the director of the school and apply it to all of the other courses.</p>
  <p>Problem is the .OVA weights over 1.5GB, is there any way to do this? (I'm from LATAM so it's hard for even the professor to access online resources because of the language barrier... he has no idea about how to make it work)</p>
  <p>this is the error I'm getting and the push attempt:</p>

  <p>Thanks for the answers, I asked with the aim to get insight into how to split an .OVA file without breaking it, but discovered my thought process was wrong. Again Thanks! :D</p>
