So I was trying to clone this repo and found out the size of this repo is around 850 Mb which really surprised me. Then I was looking for what exactly is weighing this repo down and found out that one single file in this repo weighs 770 Mb it is under .git folder and in packs folder. I don't know what exactly that file does and how important it's for the website but I believe if it's not a necessity we could make a drive link for it and lower the repo size.

The .git folder saves the history of the repo. Googling around there seem to be some ways to reduce its size by dropping the history of large binary files, if you want to submit a PR that does this feel free.
