Why is git pushing my files normally, even if they are handled by git-LFS?

I have the problem that, in my repo, I have to upload an essential *.lm dictionary file which is about 380mb of size. It actually is tracked by git-lfs and it also is being uploaded to git-lfs. My problem is, that besides git-lfs, git also uploads this file to the repo, so at the end it fails, because you can't upload files bigger than 100mb.

I already tried to clean my repo with bfg and git-lfs import to migrate my repo to lfs. None of them worked, it still keeps uploading the files to both lfs and the normal repo.

I really don't know what to do, it already worked in the history, now it does not anymore.

Please see How to stop tracking and ignore changes to a file in Git?

In particular, you would need to remove the file from being tracked. What the answer in the link recommends is git rm --cached <file-name>.

You would then need to add it to your .gitignore
