9 git lfs install options
10
12 Perform the following actions to ensure that Git LFS is setup properly:
13
14 · Set up the clean and smudge filters under the name "lfs" in the
15 global Git config.
16
17 · Install a pre-push hook to run git-lfs-pre-push(1) for the current
18 repository, if run from inside one. If "core.hooksPath" is config‐
19 ured in any Git configuration (and supported, i.e., the installed
20 Git version is at least 2.9.0), then the pre-push hook will be
21 installed to that directory instead.

24
26 Without any options, git lfs install will only setup the "lfs" smudge
27 and clean filters if they are not already set.
28
29 --force
30 Sets the "lfs" smudge and clean filters, overwriting existing
31 values.
32
33 --local
34 Sets the "lfs" smudge and clean filters in the local reposi‐
35 tory´s git config, instead of the global git config (~/.gitcon‐
36 fig).
37
38 --manual
39 Print instructions for manually updating your hooks to include
40 git-lfs functionality. Use this option if git lfs install fails
41 because of existing hooks and you want to retain their function‐
42 ality.
43
44 --system
45 Sets the "lfs" smudge and clean filters in the system git con‐
46 fig, e.g. /etc/gitconfig instead of the global git config
47 (~/.gitconfig).
48
49 --skip-smudge
50 Skips automatic downloading of objects on clone or pull. This
51 requires a manual "git lfs pull" every time a new commit is
52 checked out on your repository.
53
54 --skip-repo
55 Skips setup of the local repo; use if you want to install the
56 global lfs filters but not make changes to the current repo.
