Sneak peak into Git LFS(Large File Storage System)

Hi Folks,

Yes! I'm back with an interesting blog Git LFS- An file storage system by git (basically to store large files above 100Mb)

A small back story How I came to know about this!

Recently my colleague asked me Have you ever worked in git Lfs ? I just ignored him like this and get back to my work


Yes! it throws the error Files with larger size should be tracked through LFS,

In my case, I gonna initiate new repo and some dummy files with 200Mb size

Step-2: We need to tell git which type of files or which files needed to be tracked to LFS. The below command will create .gitattributes file contains a list of tracked files

git lfs track "*.csv"

Step -5 : Let's push use the command to push the large file First

git lfs push --all origin <branch>

Tada, it's all done!

Points to remember!

1. Make sure the file format is correct and not corrupted


2. Files above 100 MB should be added via Git LFS below that we can add through regular git actions

Thanks, @iamadhee (Lol! he is the colleague I ignored)
