Star 9. New issue. Jump to bottom. Copy link. 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:.
If transferring the LFS files fails for some reason, the push will be aborted and you can safely try again. This means it is always safe to re-attempt transferring Git LFS files to the server; you can't accidentally overwrite a Git LFS file's contents with the wrong version. To migrate a Git LFS repository from one hosting provider to another, you can use a combination of git lfs fetch and git lfs push with the --all option specified. Git LFS typically only downloads the files needed for commits that you actually checkout locally.
However, you can force Git LFS to download extra content for other recently modified branches using git lfs fetch --recent :. This is useful for batch downloading new Git LFS content while you're out at lunch, or if you're planning on reviewing work from your teammates and will not be able to download content later on due to limited internet connectivity.
For example, you may wish to run git lfs fetch --recent before jumping on a plane! Git LFS considers any branch or tag containing a commit newer than seven days as recent.
You can configure the number of days considered as recent by setting the lfs. By default, git lfs fetch --recent will only download Git LFS content for the commit at the tip of a recent branch or tag. However you can configure Git LFS to download content for earlier commits on recent branches and tags by configuring the lfs.
Use this setting with care: if you have fast moving branches, this can result in a huge amount of data being downloaded. However it can be useful if you need to review interstitial changes on a branch, cherry picking commits across branches, or rewrite history.
This will delete any local Git LFS files that are considered old. An old file is any file not referenced by:. By default, a recent commit is any commit created in the last ten days. This is calculated by adding:. Unlike Git's built-in garbage collection, Git LFS content is not pruned automatically, so running git lfs prune on a regular basis is a good idea to keep your local repository size down.
You can test out what effect a prune operation will have with git lfs prune --dry-run :. And exactly which Git LFS objects will be pruned with git lfs prune --verbose --dry-run :. You can use the techniques described in Finding paths or commits that reference a Git LFS object to find our more about the objects that will be pruned. As an additional safety check, you can use the --verify-remote option to check whether the remote Git LFS store has a copy of your Git LFS objects before they are pruned:.
This makes the pruning process significantly slower, but gives you peace of mind knowing that any pruned objects are recoverable from the server.
You can enable the --verify-remote option permanently for your system by configuring the lfs. Or you can enable remote verification for just the context repository by omitting the --global option from the command above. This is where the "ls-files" command comes in handy: it lists all of the files that are tracked by LFS in the current working copy.
Whenever you're in doubt if a certain file is really managed by LFS, simply assure yourself with the "ls-files" command. You can accuse Git of many things - but definitely not of forgetfulness: things that you've committed to the repository are there to stay.
It's very hard to get things out of a project's commit history and that's a good thing. In the end, this means one thing: make sure to set your LFS tracking patterns as early as possible - ideally right after initializing a new repository. To change a file that was committed the usual way into an LFS-managed object, you would have to manipulate and rewrite your project's history. And you certainly want to avoid this. To clone an existing LFS repository from a remote server, you can simply use the standard "git clone" command that you already know.
After downloading the repository, Git will check out the default branch and then hand over to LFS: if there are any LFS-managed files in the current revision, they'll be automatically downloaded for you. That's all well and good - but if you want to speed up the cloning process, you can also use the "git lfs clone" command instead.
The main difference is that, after the initial checkout was performed, the requested LFS items are downloaded in parallel instead of one after the other. This could be a nice time saver for repositories with lots of LFS-tracked files. Undeniably, the best part about Git LFS is that it doesn't require you to change your workflow. Apart from telling LFS which files it should track, there is nothing to watch out for! No matter if it's committing, pushing or pulling: you can continue to work with the commands you already know and use.
