I was using git lfs for some large files as I had committed prior to use it, so I had to use git lfs migrate import as provided here which re-wrote the commits and then I was able to push it on the server. But, in turn, it has changed whole project's every .kt, .xml file to these 3 lines:
version https://git-lfs.github.com/spec/v1
oid sha256:e1bc1da7265eea2b374ddf30546ddabfa
size 21093
Opening any file over Github is not working as well but downloading a file and opening it works which means I still have a backup plus the ZIP backup I always create. How to clear/rollback this mess because I've a huge project?.

Also, now I can't see Git in Android Studio, no options even in the above VCS menu. I checked the whole project, it has removed code from every single file, even from gradle files, .idea configurations files, text files etc.
I've solved the issue which was new for me. It might help others.
So, What I wanted to do was to support large files, I used git lfs but as I had already committed the code, I had to use git lfs migrate import which edits already committed changes and add the "supposedly" big files to its repository capable to store large files.
But, this command added all the files and provided a pointer as mentioned in the comments by Torek.
I read their help docs and to resolve the issue, first I ran a command git lfs checkout which brings back the original content of the files from the repo to local files and then I removed all type of files added to .gitattributes except few for which I used git lfs on the first place. git lfs works with .gitattributes.
Then, I just did a new commit and push and everything works fine now. Hell of a journey at midnight, blew my sleep.
