How to handle large files?

My script generates an json file which will automatically pushed to the repository.

Well this file will grow over the time and might be too large for a github repository at some time. How to handle this?

Thanks for the answer.

git lfs is known for me and for short term a solution. Atm, I can push this json file without need of lfs.
The maximum supported file size is 5GB which is fine for me and can work for some year.

However, I was thinking more about having something like gdrive or something for free.

Idk how Google handles this, if you can share the file publicly and then use the public url to fetch the file. Maybe you can find a different hosting source for your file?

Another solution is to delete older less important papers. It would be my suggestion.
