### Warning for files larger than {% data variables.large_files.warning_size %}

If you attempt to add or update a file that is larger than {% data variables.large_files.warning_size %}, you will receive a warning from Git. The changes will still successfully push to your repository, but you can consider removing the commit to minimize performance impact. For more information, see "[Removing files from a repository's history](/github/managing-large-files/removing-files-from-a-repositorys-history)."

### Blocked pushes for large files

{% if enterpriseServerVersions contains currentVersion or currentVersion == "github-ae@latest" %}By default, {% endif %}{% data variables.product.product_name %} blocks pushes that exceed {% data variables.large_files.max_github_size %}. {% if enterpriseServerVersions contains currentVersion or currentVersion == "github-ae@latest" %}However, a site administrator can configure a different limit for {% data variables.product.product_location %}. For more information, see "[Setting Git push limits](/enterprise/{{ currentVersion }}/admin/guides/installation/setting-git-push-limits)".{% endif %}
