Git LFS v2.5.0, the latest release of the open-source Git extension for handling large files, introduces new features including three migration modes, various bug fixes, and enhancements aimed at improving developer ergonomics. The update allows users to efficiently manage repositories with large files, offering commands like `git lfs migrate import` and `git lfs migrate import --fixup` to streamline the process of correctly storing files with Git LFS or fixing repository states. Additionally, users can export large objects using `git lfs migrate export`. The updated version also enhances development tools by adopting the TAP format for test outputs and incorporating a Makefile for building the project, aligning with familiar open-source practices. Improvements such as better support for object alternates and accurate status outputs from subdirectories further enhance functionality. Taylor Blau, a Principal Software Engineer at GitHub, authored the release notes.
