Git LFS (Large File Storage) is an extension for Git that allows the version control of large files. It replaces large files with text pointers in Git repositories, allowing users to store and manage large binary files such as audio, video, and graphics more efficiently. Instead of including the actual file contents in the repository, Git LFS stores a reference to the file in the repository, while the actual content is stored on a remote server.
Git LFS can be used with various Git hosting services like GitHub, Bitbucket, and GitLab. It’s especially useful when working with teams that need to collaborate on large files, as it reduces the size of the repository and improves the speed of cloning and fetching.
Git LFS works by adding a new command line interface (CLI) as well as Git hooks that replace large files with pointers in the repository. It supports a number of large file types, including images, videos, audio files, and even 3D models. Additionally, Git LFS provides features like versioning and history tracking, making it easier to collaborate on large files.
