NAME
       git-lfs - Work with large files in Git repositories

SYNOPSIS
       git lfs <command> [<args>]

DESCRIPTION
       Git LFS is a system for managing and versioning large files in
       association with a Git repository. Instead of storing the large files
       within the Git repository as blobs, Git LFS stores special "pointer
       files" in the repository, while storing the actual file contents on a
       Git LFS server. The contents of the large file are downloaded
       automatically when needed, for example when a Git branch containing the
       large file is checked out.

       Git LFS works by using a "smudge" filter to look up the large file
       contents based on the pointer file, and a "clean" filter to create a
       new version of the pointer file when the large file’s contents change.
       It also uses a pre-push hook to upload the large file contents to the
       Git LFS server whenever a commit containing a new large file version is
       about to be pushed to the corresponding Git server.

COMMANDS
       Like Git, Git LFS commands are separated into high level ("porcelain")
       commands and low level ("plumbing") commands.

EXAMPLES
       To get started with Git LFS, the following commands can be used.

	1. Setup Git LFS on your system. You only have to do this once per
	   user account:

	       git lfs install

	2. Choose the type of files you want to track, for examples all ISO
	   images, with git-lfs-track(1):

	       git lfs track "*.iso"

	3. The above stores this information in gitattributes(5) files, so
	   that file needs to be added to the repository:

	       git add .gitattributes

	4. Commit, push and work with the files normally:

	       git add file.iso
	       git commit -m "Add disk image"
	       git push
