A 100 MiB per-file limit applies when pushing new files to any project in the Free tier.
If a new file that is 100 MiB or larger is pushed to a project in the Free tier, an error is displayed. For example:
Enumerating objects: 3, done.
Counting objects: 100% (3/3), done.
Delta compression using up to 10 threads
Compressing objects: 100% (2/2), done.
Writing objects: 100% (3/3), 100.03 MiB | 1.08 MiB/s, done.
Total 3 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 0

error: failed to push some refs to 'https://gitlab.com/group/my-project.git'
The error lists the unique IDs for files rather than their filename. To look up the filename from the unique identify, run the following command:
tree -r | grep <id>
Because Git is not designed to handle large non-text-based data well, you should use Git LFS for these files. Git LFS is designed to work with Git to track large files.
