    don’t believe Git imposes a limit on the number of files or file size.

    Alternatively, you can manually unpack a Canvas App using Visual Studio Code. First, export your Canvas App from Power Apps as a .msapp file by going to your app, selecting Export Package, and downloading the file. Next, ensure you have the PowerPlatform tools extension and Visual Studio Code installedOpen VS Code, launch a terminal, and navigate to the folder containing your .msapp file. Use the command pac canvas unpack --msapp <YourAppName>.msapp --sources <DestinationFolder> to unpack the app, which will create a structured folders. You can then inspect or edit these files in VS Code and push the code to repo

    We are getting a similar error with git integration for solutions. 

    /canvasapps/redacted/appname/Controls/redacted.json of CanvasApp(redacted) is too big to fit in source control.

    pac and unpack work fine (but are no longer supported).
