About this tag
Git LFS (Large File Storage) is a Git extension that replaces large files like binaries, archives, or media with text pointers, reducing repository size and improving performance. On Windows 11, setting up Git LFS is straightforward using the official Git for Windows installer, which includes Git Bash, credential helpers, and LFS support.
