Very large repo

Open existme opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

Hi, Thanks a lot for sharing your configuration and your dotfiles. I got interested in looking at your configuration when I read your nice article about rofi. I haven't yet looked closely but I was wondering why the git repo is so large? The .git folder itself is larger than 1.1GB which is too much for a repo that should only maintain configurations. Don't you agree? :-)

Here is a portion of du -h output
