GIT-LFS Do you really need it
Git, the age-old version control system, was created by our trusted buddy, Linus Torvalds. An amazing developer tool that is now indispensable to such an extent that you are considered an outcast if you don’t use it.
but, there’s so much that most people overlook, like git blame, submodule, stash, etc. one such amazing, not so known feature is git lfs (large file storage).
If there’s one thing that people don’t really use git for is, storing huge chunks of data, well, today, let’s figure out how to do exactly that.
Git Lfs offers a new way to store large-sized files, by converting them into their respective pointer files, now what is that you ask, a good question, but not really important.
git lfs allows you to store large data in your remote repositories with ease, meaning all you have to do is tell git, “hey bro, need you to send this one out as lfs”, and boom that’s it.
the working and installation can be found in the link given above
so, the next time you feel like you need to store or share a fat juicy piece of data, keep our old friend git lfs in mind.
