Day068 — Git LFS

I have a Git project that contains files with large size (> 1GB). I have to find a way to track changes on those files. Git LFS comes to rescue. (BTW, you have 1GB file storage on a free Bitbucket account)

What is Git LFS?

Git LFS (Large File Storage) is a Git extension developed by Atlassian, GitHub, and a few other open source contributors, that reduces the impact of large files in your repository by downloading the relevant versions of them lazily.

Git LFS does this by replacing large files in your repository with tiny pointer files.
