Answer by Vojtech Vitek - golang.cz for How can I find/identify large commits in Git history?

Try git ls-files | xargs du -hs --threshold=1M.

We use the below command in our CI pipeline, it halts if it finds any big files in the git repo:

test $(git ls-files | xargs du -hs --threshold=1M 2>/dev/null | tee /dev/stderr | wc -l) -gt 0 && { echo; echo "Aborting due to big files in the git repository."; exit 1; } || true
