Description

The __tests__/fixtures/ is around 80MB. The files which take most of the space are the .tgz.bin files which I assume are regenerable.

(If you also agree that this is a problem, then) a solution to this could be adding a pretest script to download these files.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the large files in tests /fixtures/, especially .tgz.bin files. Determine if they can be regenerated, then implement a pretest script to download them instead of storing in the repo.
