Repo size

[Robinlovelace]

Just cloned the repo and see that it's over 1/4 GB. Please consider pruning the repo size to reduce download times and save bandwidth:

@Robinlovelace true, part is due that we forked from an existing workshop and almost rewrote it. And there may have been some large data files pushed then deleted by accident. So all that history is carried. In the documentation we recommend to download the master zip file, which should be smaller, around 6.6MB:

https://geopython.github.io/geopython-workshop/#installation

curl -O https://codeload.github.com/geopython/geopython-workshop/zip/master
unzip master

On my system the workshop tree with .git history is around 90MB so maybe some pruning has been done. Think you also can clone just the master branch, to save.

No problem and thanks for the suggestions @justb4. I still think it's worth considering reducing the repo size as it will encourage contributions from the community if the codebase is easy to clone and work with.

Great work in any case, looking forward to trying updated versions of this course.
