What part of the project to upload to the bitbucket repository?

Question

git

There is a large project on codeigniter > 30,000 files, which has been developed for a long time, i.e. it already has a huge number of custom image files. There is an urgent task to get started with git. The question is what parts of the project are usually loaded into the repository? what about those image folders? downloading them all from the server with each clone is not the best option, I think. Database to apply to the root in the form of a dump? what to do with a few configs and htacess which, in fact, should be different on each local copy?
