After months of letting our early adopters kick the tires, Git Large File Storage (Git LFS) has reached a 1.0 milestone and is now available to all repositories on GitHub.com.
Git LFS is an open source Git extension that we released in April for integrating large binary files into your Git workflow. Distributed version control systems like Git have enabled new and powerful workflows, but they haven’t always been practical for versioning large files. Git LFS solves this problem by replacing large files with text pointers inside Git, while storing the file contents on a remote server like GitHub.com.
We’re hugely appreciative of the community that’s sprung up around Git LFS. This milestone contains features and fixes that came directly from your feedback and pull requests. Some notable changes include:
git lfs fetch
and git lfs pull
commands that download objects much faster than the standard Git smudge filtergit lfs push
that filter the number of commits to scan for eligible LFS objects to upload. This greatly reduces the time to push new feature branchesGit LFS is now available to all users on GitHub.com, just install the client to get started.
