Git LFS v2.3.0 is now available with performance improvements to git lfs migrate
and git clone
, new features, bug fixes, and more.
git lfs migrate
With our latest release, git lfs migrate
ships with a native implementation for reading packed objects: an important next step to making Git LFS’s migrator performance significantly faster. Git LFS also learned how to avoid saving unchanged objects, making it 52% faster[1] to examine your repository for large objects than in previous releases.
~/g/git-lfs (master) $ git lfs version
git-lfs/2.2.1 (GitHub; darwin amd64; go 1.8.3; git 621d1f82)

git clone
The git clone
command is now 170% faster on repositories using Git LFS than in previous releases.[2] That means the native git clone
command is as fast as the (now deprecated) git lfs clone
wrapper. With simultaneous object batching and transferring, you can expect dramatic performance improvements for tools that shell out to git clone
or git checkout
.
You’ll also find support for new transfer agents, release targets, documentation, and more—all of which are thanks to gracious contributions from the Git LFS open source community.
