LFS is a tool to use to avoid checking in 7 gb files. If you want to weigh down your repo with binary bloat, don't configure your repo to use LFS.

- kskskuejej2 10y agoHave you tried setting up LFS on your self-hosted ssh git repo? Turns out LFS is designed to authenticate over https and doesn't work at all with ssh credentials out of the box because f* you. I'm still hoping for a native git feature for large files, so the git-lfs crap can die in a fire.
- stephenr 10y agoLFS was developed by GitHub, a company that depends on people thinking it's "too hard" to run their own DVCS repo hosting. Compare this with the Mercurial LargeFiles extension, which needs nothing more than a line in the .hgrc on each end (client/server) to enable it.
