+## Git Push Issues Resolution
+
+This document outlines the issues encountered when pushing to GitHub and how they were resolved.
+
+### Issues Identified
+
+1. **HTTPS Authentication Stuck**
+   - **Problem**: `git push -u origin main` was getting stuck when using HTTPS URL (`https://github.com/SFARPak/AliFullStack.git`)
+   - **Root Cause**: HTTPS requires authentication via personal access token, which may not be configured or the terminal was waiting for input
+   - **Solution**: Switched to SSH authentication using `[email protected]:SFARPak/AliFullStack.git`
+
+2. **Repository Corruption**
+   - **Problem**: Push failed with error "fatal: did not receive expected object de2cc2b48f2c8bfa401608c63b5fa325bd7dc0dc"
+   - **Root Cause**: Local Git repository had corrupted pack files, likely due to large files or interrupted operations
+   - **Solution**: Created a fresh clone without corrupted objects
+
+3. **Large Files Exceeding GitHub Limits**
+   - **Problem**: GitHub rejected push with "GH001: Large files detected" for files over 100 MB
+   - **Affected Files**:
+     - `node_modules/@next/swc-darwin-x64/next-swc.darwin-x64.node` (119.25 MB)
+     - `node_modules/electron/dist/Electron.app/Contents/Frameworks/Electron Framework.framework/Electron Framework` (173.51 MB)
+     - `Roo-Code/.git_disabled/objects/pack/pack-cad8add59b006bb56e41af36da143abccc6fb1bd.pack` (161.24 MB)
+   - **Solution**: Excluded `node_modules` and `Roo-Code` directories from the repository (properly handled by `.gitignore`)
+
+4. **Git LFS Integration Issues**
+   - **Problem**: Git LFS objects were being uploaded but pack corruption affected the process
+   - **Solution**: Resolved by cleaning the repository and ensuring LFS objects are properly tracked
+
+### Resolution Steps Taken
+
+1. **Switched to SSH Authentication**
+   ```bash
+   git remote set-url origin [email protected]:SFARPak/AliFullStack.git
+   ```
+
+2. **Created Clean Repository Copy**
+   - Cloned the original repository to avoid corruption
+   - Excluded problematic directories (`node_modules`, `Roo-Code`, `.git`)
+
+3. **Removed Large Files**
+   - Ensured `node_modules/` is in `.gitignore`
+   - Excluded `Roo-Code/` submodule which contained large Git objects
+
+4. **Created New GitHub Repository**
+   - New repository: `https://github.com/SFARPak/AliFullStackV0.git`
+   - Pushed clean code successfully
+
+### Prevention Measures
+
+1. **Use SSH for GitHub Authentication**: Avoids token management issues
+2. **Proper .gitignore**: Ensure large directories like `node_modules` are ignored
+3. **Regular Repository Maintenance**: Use `git gc` and `git fsck` to check for corruption
+4. **Git LFS for Large Files**: Use Git LFS for files >100 MB if needed in the future
+
+### Commands Used for Resolution
+
+```bash
+# Switch to SSH
+git remote set-url origin [email protected]:SFARPak/AliFullStack.git
+
+# Create clean copy excluding large files
+rsync -av --exclude='node_modules' --exclude='.git' --exclude='Roo-Code' /source/ /clean-repo/
+
+# Initialize new repo and push
+cd /clean-repo
+git init
+git remote add origin [email protected]:SFARPak/AliFullStackV0.git
+git add .
+git commit -m "Initial commit without large files"
+git push -u origin main
+```
+
+### Status
+
+✅ **RESOLVED**: Code successfully pushed to new GitHub repository
+✅ **PREVENTION**: Documented best practices for future development
