When attempting to push a too large commit, somme server will issue an error like 

**remote: fatal: pack exceeds maximum allowed size**

To try recovering from this the push should be split in several smaller push. But first, we need to reverse the last commit without cancelling the changes :
<code bash>
git reset HEAD^
</code>  

The list of modified and untracked files can be obtained with status :
<code bash>
git reset HEAD^
</code>  

Then select some modifications, add them, commit and push them.
<code bash>
# for example , add only the changes in some_folder
git add some_folder
git commit -m "commit msg"
git push
</code> 
Repeat it until all changes are committed and pushed.
