6 git-lfs-install - Install Git LFS configuration.
7
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 in‐
21 stalled to that directory instead.
22
23
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 --worktree
39 Sets the "lfs" smudge and clean filters in the current working
40 tree´s git config, instead of the global git config (~/.gitcon‐
41 fig) or local repository´s git config ($GIT_DIR/config). If mul‐
42 tiple working trees are in use, the Git config extension work‐
43 treeConfig must be enabled to use this option. If only one work‐
44 ing tree is in use, --worktree has the same effect as --local.
45 This option is only available if the installed Git version is at
46 least 2.20.0 and therefore supports the "worktreeConfig" exten‐
47 sion.
48
49 --manual
50 Print instructions for manually updating your hooks to include
51 git-lfs functionality. Use this option if git lfs install fails
52 because of existing hooks and you want to retain their function‐
53 ality.
54
55 --system
56 Sets the "lfs" smudge and clean filters in the system git con‐
57 fig, e.g. /etc/gitconfig instead of the global git config
58 (~/.gitconfig).
59
60 --skip-smudge
61 Skips automatic downloading of objects on clone or pull. This
62 requires a manual "git lfs pull" every time a new commit is
63 checked out on your repository.
64
65 --skip-repo
66 Skips setup of the local repo; use if you want to install the
67 global lfs filters but not make changes to the current repo.
68
70 git-lfs-uninstall(1), git-worktree(1).
