check the size of my current changes and help me break them into smaller size commits so i don't exceed the limit per commit, make sure to not only commit them in small changes but also sync/push them n small changes (for example the 23MB video needs to be a commit alone because i think the max commit size is 25mb)

I'll help you check the size of your current changes and break them into smaller commits. Let me first examine what changes you have and their sizes.

Now let me check the sizes of these files to understand how to organize them into commits:

Perfect! I can see the file sizes. Let me create a plan to break these changes into smaller commits. The 22MB video (heat-gun-paste.mp4) definitely needs to be its own commit as you mentioned.

Now let me start with the commits. I'll begin with the largest file:

Great! Now let me continue with the remaining video files:

Now let me commit the PNG image files:

Now let me commit the PCB design files:

Now let me commit the cursor chat documentation file:

Finally, let me commit the modified week2.html file:

Perfect! I've successfully broken down your changes into 6 smaller commits and pushed each one individually. Here's a summary of what was done:

Commit Breakdown Summary

Total changes analyzed:
  • 1 large video file (22MB) - heat-gun-paste.mp4
  • 3 smaller video files (4.8MB total) - place-microcontroller.mp4, solder-paste-apply.mp4, wire-solder.mp4
  • 4 PNG images (1MB total) - various training documentation images
  • PCB design files (432KB) - KiCad project files
  • Cursor chat documentation (592KB) - markdown file
  • Modified HTML file (132KB) - week2.html
  • Commits created and pushed:

    1. Commit 1: heat-gun-paste.mp4 (22MB) - Largest file committed alone 2. Commit 2: Remaining video files (4.8MB total) 3. Commit 3: PNG training images (1MB total) 4. Commit 4: PCB design files (432KB) 5. Commit 5: Cursor chat documentation (592KB) 6. Commit 6: Modified week2.html (132KB)

    Each commit was immediately pushed to the remote repository to ensure the changes are safely stored. This approach ensures that:

  • No single commit exceeds the 25MB limit
  • The large 22MB video file is isolated in its own commit
  • All changes are properly versioned and backed up
  • The commit history is clean and logical

All your changes have been successfully committed and pushed to the remote repository!
