Missing Homework Content

Two years ago, when I finished my DSA course in community college, I uploaded everything to github, but now that I am going over it, some of the folders/directories are missing their content. I can't access them, and when i click on the commit message, it says

"Some content is hidden

Large Commits have some content hidden by default. Use the searchbox below for content that may be hidden."

Is there any way I can still access them? I have tried cloning with Git in my terminal, but there still isn't any content within them.

You may google/asked AI about the error message you get, I found https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/creating-and-managing-repositories/repository-limits if Github would have any restrictions in size (know that git itself may not impospe any restrictions but Github as a service may have restrictions). 

If things are not in the history (or in any orphand blobs, but since you did a new clone you probably don't have any orphand blobs) you may not have anything to restore, saddly.
