Hey all ✋

Today we’ve cleaned up the git repo at [GitHub - OpenDroneMap/ODM: A command line toolkit to generate maps, point clouds, 3D models and DEMs from drone, balloon or kite images. 📷](https://github.com/OpenDroneMap/ODM) which many of you know, weighted an astonishing 1.1GB.

We’ve eliminated some binary blobs (mostly images and a few zip archives that were probably added by mistake long time ago) using [BFG Repo-Cleaner by rtyley](https://rtyley.github.io/bfg-repo-cleaner/)

This brought down the repository size to 11mb! 🥳

Commit history is intact and going forward this will make it much less painful to get a copy of ODM, especially in rural areas.

The downside is that you need to re-clone the existing repositories if you want to do a `git pull` or open a pull request.

Doing a `git pull` on the old repository (or from your fork) will cause a lot of conflicts.

If there are questions, feel free to ask.
