Git LFS

[work-in-progress]

Background

Atlassian’s Git LOB + GitHub’s Git LFS

• Managing huge files on the right storage with Git LFS - YouTube - swampUP 2016 - JFrog User Conference - Tim Pettersen, Senior Developer / Developer Advocate at Atlassian.

• atlassian/git-lob: Experimental large files in Git (discontinued, use git-lfs instead)

• GitLFS - How to handle large files in Git - Lars Schneider - FOSSASIA Summit 2017 - YouTube

• Git LFS Training - GitHub Universe 2015 - YouTube

Troubleshooting

• .gitattributes .csv vs *.csv
• Running git lfs install on new (physical or virtual) machine
• Use of git diff --cache to check and see if the staged files are to be committed to the Git repo, or as Git LFS files, etc.
