Per @promicroNL on YouTube, you can address this by using “Copy git apply” option in the Codex Cloud “Create PR” dropdown.

1. Click the dropdown arrow next to “Create PR”
2. Click “Copy git apply”
3. Paste clipboard into a `my_changes.patch` file.
4. `git apply my_changes.patch`

You may then want to add the binary files (I’ve seen PNG and WAV) files to your `.gitignore` file or maybe remove them from the repo and then ignore them.
