How to push only non-lfs files onto github repository.

Body

I have an issue with git LFS on Github for quite some time now, as it is now full. I start looking for a way to mitigate this issue. But I still don't fully understand how git LFS works. So I'm stuck at where I am now. I don't really sure if I use git LFS as its intention or not. As I put all binary files inside my repos. I know I shouldn't do that, but I am the only one using it. So it should be fine.

My original idea for mitigating this issue is by doing local git hosting. the repository will have 2 remotes, origin, and lfs. origin will point to my github repos. And lfs will point to my internal disk, like this.

     local      |     remote
   workspace    ->    origin      -> repos host on github.com
                ->     lfs        -> repos host inside my local disk

This is my configuration (I config them based on my existing repos):

# intialize my self host git
cd D:\shared\git\lfs
mkdir myrepo
cd myrepo
git init --bare

# go to my real workspace
cd \shared\Documents\myrepo
git remote add lfs D:/shared/git/lfs/myrepo
git config --add lfs.customtransfer.lfs-folder.path lfs-folderstore
git config --add lfs.customtransfer.lfs-folder.args "D:/shared/git/lfs/myrepo"
git config --add lfs.D:/shared/git/lfs/myrepo.standalonetransferagent lfs-folder
git lfs install
...

And I suppose I was done.
But it doesn't actually solve the problem. Normally, I use git push to push to origin, and git push lfs to push to lfs. But when I use git push, It still also push git lfs over to github. Which isn't what I want.

Any ideas? I want to do this so bad but it doesn't work as I wish it does. Thank you.
