Git LFS（Large File Storage）

Git Large File Storage (LFS)，是GitHub推出的基于Git的扩展，专门用来存储大文件。

https://git-lfs.github.com/

Git Large File Storage (LFS) replaces large files such as audio samples, videos, datasets, and graphics with text pointers inside Git,

while storing the file contents on a remote server like GitHub.com or GitHub Enterprise.

Git LFS将大文件（音频、视频、数据集、图片）与git代码仓库分开存储。

Git LFS功能：

• Large file versioning
• More repository space
• Faster cloning and fetching
• Same Git workflow
• Same access controls and permissions

使用Git LFS需要安装Git LFS客户端。

使用Git LFS：

• Download and install the Git command line extension. You only have to set up Git LFS once.
  • git lfs install
• Select the file types you'd like Git LFS to manage (or directly edit your .gitattributes). You can configure additional file extensions at anytime.
  • git lfs track "*.psd"
• There is no step three. Just commit and push to GitHub as you normally would.
  • git add file.psd
  • git commit -m "Add design file"
  • git push origin master
