Hosting assets (images, videos, documents) in the github repository

[narcis-radu]

We are currently hosting images on the github repository instead of DAM / content repository. The assets are used for testing purposes and while they're small, in time they can generate a big footprint which would need to be downloaded by contributors every time they clone the project or a code (image) update is available. At the same time, we have assets used on Production or tools.
I would like to get your opinion on this practice and maybe see if we can define some ground rules when the assets can / can't be stored in the repository.

Here's some examples:

• assets used for testing purposes - https://github.com/adobecom/milo/blob/stage/libs/features/mas/web-components/test/img/special-offers-img2.png
• assets used on production - https://github.com/adobecom/milo/blob/stage/libs/blocks/global-footer/icons.svg
• assets used by tools - https://github.com/adobecom/milo/tree/stage/img

As discussed with whole Warriors team, we agreed to add a 1px png image and reuse it for all our image needs in unit test files by declaratively set exact dimensions.
