A 70GB code base is not something that’s ever supposed to happen. Pretending that’s okay for any product is the actual madness here.

I guarantee you this is the sort of app that accidentally ships 3 full copies of Google Chrome.

In the comments, they state that it is point cloud data for gaussian splatting. I don't know what that is, but I suspect is is information that may not be best handled by git.
