title: After installing Git LFS - master (pre-receive hook declined)
body: <p><strong>I know this question comes up a lot</strong>, apologies for it... but I have read many entries here on StackOverflow but I have not been able to make any of them work. So here it comes once again, hoping to get some guidance...</p>
  <p>Background: I am working alone in a project. I have always had my repo on GitHub and it has always worked well. Basically I did not have any problems pushing and pulling from the master. This time I had a large file +173MB so I decided to try the Git Large File Storage that always pops up. The process I followed is the one it says on the website:</p>
  <pre><code>brew install git-lfs
  git lfs install
  git lfs track &quot;*.csv&quot; (my file is a csv)
  git add .gitattributes
  </code></pre>
  <p>After doing this, I was not able to push to the master anymore. The message is:</p>
  <pre><code>(venv-MBTI) (base) diego@DIGL Capstone 2 - MBTI % git push origin master

  </code></pre>
  <p>I tried most of the stuff I found in StackOverflow:</p>
  <pre><code>git pull --rebase
  git reset --soft HEAD~1
  git revert a2f2db2 (an older commit)
  git push -u origin master
  </code></pre>
  <p>I also tried to follow</p>
  <ul>
  <li>the instructions from <a href="http://Open%20your%20project%20%3E%20Settings%20%3E%20Repository%20and%20go%20to%20%22Protected%20branches%22,%20find%20%22master%22%20branch%20into%20the%20list%20and%20click%20%22Unprotect%22%20and%20try%20again." rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a></li>
  <li>the instructions from <a href="https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/protected_branches.html#restricting-push-and-merge-access-to-certain-users" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a></li>
  </ul>
  <p>Other less relevant stuff</p>
  <p>I guess I am doing something wrong, but have not been able to figure it out.</p>
  <p>Any suggestion?</p>
