Summary - Git LFS

Combine the LFS flow to manage large files.

Git LFS workflow summary

Git LFS is the industry standard for preventing large binary files from bloating repositories. The workflow consists of three simple steps: install filters with git lfs install, track patterns with git lfs track "*.ext", and commit the .gitattributes file. After this setup, files are managed using standard Git commands.

git lfs install
git lfs track "*.bin"
git add .gitattributes large_file.bin
git commit -m "Add LFS file"

This keeps repositories lightweight and clone speeds lightning-fast.

Exercise Commit LFS configuration

Stage .gitattributes with git add, commit with git commit -qm "LFS yapilandirildi", and verify with git log -1 --format="%s".

Show example solution

git init -q -b main
git config user.name "Sarp"
git config user.email "sarp@example.com"
echo "*.bin filter=lfs diff=lfs merge=lfs -text" > .gitattributes
git add .gitattributes
git commit -qm "LFS yapilandirildi"
git log -1 --format="%s"

Test yourself

Which Git command is used to add a new large file managed by Git LFS to the repository?
- The standard git add <file> command
- git ftp put <file>
- git lfs upload <file>
- git lfs push --file <file>
Show answer

The standard git add <file> command — Once the pattern is tracked, files are staged and committed using standard git add and git commit commands; LFS clean filter kicks in automatically.
