Git is ultimately versioning the file, if many versions of these files exist in your repo, they will dramatically increase the time to check out, branch, fetch, and clone the code. 

Luckily git has solved this problem using Git Large File System (LFS). LFS is an extension to Git; it replaces large files, such as audio samples, videos, datasets, and graphics, with text pointers inside Git, while storing the file's contents on a remote server which commits data that describes the large files in a commit to your repo, and stores the binary file contents...
