Github push declined due to large file size

I am working with an electron project and my push is declined by github due to a large file size greater than 100.0 MB. I tried using git lfs but I am still facing an error.

These commands are used:

$ git init
$ cd node_modules/electron/dist
$ git lfs track electron.d.ts     # this is the large file
$ cd -
$ git add .gitattributes
$ git add .
$ git commit -m "First Push"
$ git remote add origin "Name of my git repo"
$ git push origin master

The errors are as follow:

git push origin master

Typically, node_modules dir size is very large. As the Electron official sample application does, usually we ignore node_modules/ dir in Git. (see https://github.com/electron/electron-quick-start )

So add node_modules to .gitignore. Don't worry. package.json keeps all dependencies so that you can rebuild node_modules dir by npm install command.
