ere's a step-by-step guide to remove binaries and ensure everything is built from source:

Identify Binary Files: Locate the generated executables in your repository. These might be .exe, .dll, .so, .o, or other compiled file types.

Remove Binary Files: Use Git to remove these files. Run:

sh

Copier
git rm path/to/binaryfile
Then commit the change:

sh

Copier
git commit -m "Removed binary files"
Update .gitignore: Prevent binaries from being added again by updating your .gitignore file:

plaintext

Copier
*.exe
*.dll
*.so
*.o
Add other extensions as needed.

Document Build Process: Create or update a README.md or similar documentation file with clear instructions on how to build the binaries from source.

Add Build Script: If possible, include a build script like Makefile, build.sh, or build.bat that automates the process. For example:

sh

Copier

build.sh

gcc -o my_program main.c
Test: Run the build process to ensure it works as expected.
