gitlfs
So if you want to use git-lfs in your repo, first you need to have a git-lfs client (follow guide: https://github.com/git-lfs/git-lfs/wiki/Installation).
Assume you have already a cloned repository and you just need to add lfs support:
git lfs install git add .gitattributes git commit -m "Added gitattributes for to git-lfs" .Suppose you have several "*.bz2" files in "data":
git lfs track "*.bz2" # handle bz2 files via git lfs git rm -r --cached data/*.bz2 # just remove git entries, files will be stored git add data/*.bz2 # add again, so that git lfs can catch the files git commit -m "reconverting done to git lfs" .Edit and/or create a .gitattributes files (works similar to .gitignore). For .pptx and .ppt files it might look like:
*.ppt* lockableAfter that you can manually lock files via:
git lfs lock ./doc/presentation.pptx # Or use lfs tracking to do that $ git lfs track "*.ppt*" --lockable # This will add: `*.ppt* filter=lfs diff=lfs merge=lfs -text lockable` to `.gitattributes` # Do something with it # ... git lfs unlock ./doc/presentation.pptxFor more options see: https://github.com/git-lfs/git-lfs/wiki/File-Locking#managing-locked-files
See who has locked any files:
git lfs locks
