If you need to distribute large files within your repository, you can create releases on {% data variables.product.product_location %}. Releases allow you to package software, release notes, and links to binary files, for other people to use. For more information, visit "[About releases](/github/administering-a-repository/about-releases)."

{% if currentVersion == "free-pro-team@latest" %}

We don't limit the total size of the binary files in the release or the bandwidth used to deliver them. However, each individual file must be smaller than {% data variables.large_files.max_lfs_size %}.

{% endif %}
