Git LFS X -- README

By spr

Introduction

Git LFS X contains the command line tool git-lfs-x, which adds functionality that could perhaps be added to Git LFS.

Windows

Use Ubuntu on Windows. Do not use MSYS Git.

Getting started

Initialize a Python 3 virtual environment to be used for git-lfs-x in the sub-directory local/venv of the working copy:

On Linux, use a specific directory for the Linux release:

venvdir="venv-$(lsb_release -i -s)-$(lsb_release -r -s)" && echo "${venvdir}"

Otherwise use a generic directory:

venvdir=venv

python3 -m venv local/${venvdir}
 # or
virtualenv -p python3 local/${venvdir}

./local/${venvdir}/bin/pip3 install -r requirements.txt

To run Git LFS X:

./bin/git-lfs-x --help
