in my Git Repo, I have a big binary file like 1G. This file will be updated almost every week.Since the Git will keep every history of each file, the size of my Git Repo will increase every week.
Actually, it is no need to keep every history version for this file, only the last 3 version is ok for me. So, how can do with this? How to delete the history version to reduce the size of my git repo?
Many thanks!

You probably don't need to have the file under version control at all, but there are tools like BFG to help delete large files. See confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucket/…
