Solution
To remove Session-1.pdf from your commit in Git, follow these steps:
Revert the Commit: If the commit containing Session-1.pdf has not been pushed to the remote repository, you can use the following command to undo this commit while keeping the changes in your working directory:
$ git reset --soft HEAD~1
This command will move the current HEAD back to the previous commit, but keep the changes in your staging area.
Remove the File: Once the commit is undone, you need to remove the file from the staging area:
$ git reset HEAD azure/slides/azure-getting-started/Session-1.pdf
This command unstages Session-1.pdf but leaves it in your working directory.
Commit Again: Now, commit your changes again, excluding Session-1.pdf:
$ git commit -m "Your commit message"
Deal with the File Separately: If you still need to track Session-1.pdf but it is too large for GitHub, consider using Git Large File Storage (LFS). Install Git LFS and then set up LFS for your file types:
$ git lfs install
$ git lfs track "*.pdf"
$ git add .gitattributes
After setting up Git LFS, add your large file:
$ git add azure/slides/azure-getting-started/Session-1.pdf
git commit -m "Add large file with LFS"
Push Your Changes: Finally, push your changes to the remote repository:
$ git push origin master
