Summary

Git Large File Storage (Git LFS), an open-source project designed to manage large assets with Git, has achieved a 1.0 milestone and is now accessible to all GitHub.com repositories, with support for GitHub Enterprise included in its version 2.4 release. Git LFS integrates seamlessly with GitHub's interface, allowing users to manage large files alongside other repository files without disruption. This integration extends to GitHub Desktop, where Git LFS is fully supported, enabling users to commit and sync with ease, and to the command line, where Git LFS functions as a natural extension of Git commands. Users can manage large files by using Git LFS tracking rules specified in the .gitattributes file, and the tool provides features like batch uploading and selective asset fetching to enhance workflow efficiency. Git LFS documentation, video demonstrations, and talks at GitHub Universe offer further insights and details about this tool, supporting developers in optimizing their Git workflows.
