Once git-lfs is on your path, run git lfs install to initialize Git LFS you can skip this step if you installed Sourcetree :.
You'll only need to run git lfs install once. To create a new Git LFS aware repository, you'll need to run git lfs install after you create the repository:. This installs a special pre-push Git hook in your repository that will transfer Git LFS files to the server when you git push. Once Git LFS is initialized for your repository, you can specify which files to track using git lfs track. At the end of the cloning process Git will check out the default branch usually main , and any Git LFS files needed to complete the checkout process will be automatically downloaded for you.
For example:. When running git clone, Git LFS files are downloaded one at a time as pointer files are checked out of your repository. If you're cloning a repository with a large number of LFS files, the explicit git lfs clone command offers far better performance:. Rather than downloading Git LFS files one at a time, the git lfs clone command waits until the checkout is complete, and then downloads any required Git LFS files as a batch. This takes advantage of parallelized downloads, and dramatically reduces the number of HTTP requests and processes spawned which is especially important for improving performance on Windows.
Just like cloning, you can pull from a Git LFS repository using a normal git pull. Any needed Git LFS files will be downloaded as part of the automatic checkout process once the pull completes:. No explicit commands are needed to retrieve Git LFS content. However, if the checkout fails for an unexpected reason, you can download any missing Git LFS content for the current commit with git lfs pull :.
Like git lfs clone , git lfs pull downloads your Git LFS files as a batch. If you know a large number of files have changed since the last time you pulled, you may wish to disable the automatic Git LFS download during checkout, and then batch download your Git LFS content with an explicit git lfs pull. This can be done by overriding your Git config with the -c option when you invoke git pull :. Since that's rather a lot of typing, you may wish to create a simple Git alias to perform a batched Git and Git LFS pull for you:.
This will greatly improve performance when a large number of Git LFS files need to be downloaded again, especially on Windows. When you add a new type of large file to your repository, you'll need to tell Git LFS to track it by specifying a pattern using the git lfs track command:. Omitting them will cause the wildcard to be expanded by your shell, and individual entries will be created for each. The patterns supported by Git LFS are the same as those supported by.
These patterns are relative to the directory in which you ran the git lfs track command. To keep things simple, it is best to run git lfs track from the root of your repository. Note that Git LFS does not support negative patterns like.
After running git lfs track , you'll notice a new file named. Git LFS automatically creates or updates. However, you will need to commit any changes to the. For ease of maintenance, it is simplest to keep all Git LFS patterns in a single. However, you can display a list of all patterns that are currently tracked by Git LFS and the. You can stop tracking a particular pattern with Git LFS by simply removing the appropriate line from your. After running git lfs untrack you will again have to commit the changes to.
You can commit and push as normal to a repository that contains Git LFS content. If you have committed changes to files tracked by Git LFS, you will see some additional output from git push as the Git LFS content is transferred to the server:. The only difference you see is some additional output from git push as the Git LFS content is transferred to the server. Create a workbook named Book1. As you can see from the output, we pushed The head commit now contains two relatively small workbook files, whereas its parent commit is nearly 14MB big.
Without LFS, a git clone downloads the entire repository with both versions. As we have now Git LFS installed, Git should only download the significantly smaller head commit by default, resulting in a much faster git clone. Clone the remote repository into lfs-2 or any other available folder. You can start straight away with our example Excel LFS repository :.
The git lfs clone command waits until the checkout is complete, and then downloads any required Git LFS files as a batch. This takes advantage of parallelised downloads, and dramatically reduces the number of HTTP requests and processes spawned. This is especially important for improving performance on Windows. Just like git clone , you can pull from a Git LFS repository using the normal git pull command.
I'll enumerate the issues I ran into below even though you'll ignore them anyway. This was annoying. But you only need to grab enough bytes for 4 lines including the ending newline which marks the EOF and once I figure out how to formally wrap this in a DSC resource, I'll do that.
The script above doesn't do that so paster beware. That's been deprecated and the latest docs reflect the new specification, as they should In the official specs of the basic transfer method, the cURL example doesn't contain any Accepts headers. I intend to ask the team if that's an oversight but at the time of this writing it wasn't there--so I kept on getting Bad Request responses from TFS.
Cool, that fixed it! Once I figured out all the gotchas the script I wrote worked like a charm and hey, it only took me an afternoon. The script also works nicely as a standalone cmdlet for all your DevOps needs. Hope this helps someone.
Give me some time to wrap this up with a bow on it and I'll publish it to Posh gallery for use, we will certainly be using it for our DSC. Probably the object was removed from the server. To view this log file, while in project directory: git lfs logs last If the status error is shown, it is because: Git LFS is not enabled in project settings.
Check your project settings and enable Git LFS. Check your Git LFS version with git lfs version. Check the Git configuration of the project for traces of deprecated API with git lfs -l.
Only version 1. By default, Git has support for remembering the credentials for each repository you use. This is described in Git credentials man pages. For example, you can tell Git to remember the password for a period of time in which you expect to push the objects: git config --global credential.
