A lightweight Git Large File Storage fetcher written in python.

This module cannot fully replace the official git-lfs client, it only knows how to download the files, cache them (the same way the official client does), and place them in a checkout directory. Uploading files is not implemented at all.

Installation

pip install git-lfs

python-git-lfs is compatible with python 2 and 3.

Usage

Basic: simply run python -m git_lfs in a normal Git repository.

Advanced:

python -m git_lfs [-h] [-v] [git_repo] [checkout_dir]

positional arguments:
git_repo       if it's bare you need to provide a checkout_dir
checkout_dir

optional arguments:
  -h, --help     show this help message and exit
  -v, --verbose
