Git, as well as services like Github, are built and optimized for lightweight text-based code files, and it’s rare to see repositories larger than a few GB. But, it’s often useful to track large files, and to make that easier, Git provides the Large File Storage (LFS) extension.

Git Large File Storage (LFS) replaces large files such as audio samples, videos, datasets, and graphics with text pointers inside Git, while storing the file contents on a remote server like GitHub.com or GitHub Enterprise.
