I’m working on a game in Unity and installed Git LFS because some of the files I handle are pretty large. I have a proper .gitattributes setup and the local repo is properly linked to the remote repo on github. Whenever I try to push to the remote I keep getting this error:
! [remote rejected] master → master (pre-receive hook declined)
error: failed to push some refs to [repo name]
Here is the full push and all the messages that come up prior to the error

My guess is that the push is failing because of these large files sizes. The problem is that Git LFS does have a line in the .gitattributes to track .png files (all the ones with errors are png files) and by the looks of the very first line “uploading lfs objects” it is tracking large files but for whatever reason not .png which I know is accounted for, here is the line:
*.png filter=lfs diff=lfs merge=lfs -text
This is what I have done so far:
Completely removed Git and re initialized it along with re installing Git LFS.
Tried using the migrate command to move files in the normal commit into LFS
Deleted and recreated the repo in github and tried removing Git and re initialized it along with re installing Git LFS.
None of this seems to be working. Is anyone able to help out?
