Git LFS v2.2.0 includes bug fixes, minor features, and a brand new migrate
command. The migrate command rewrites commits, converting large files from
Git blobs to LFS objects. The most common use case will fix a git push rejected
for having large blobs:
$ git push origin master
# ...
remote: error: file a.psd is 1.2 gb; this exceeds github's file size limit of 100.00 mb
to github.com:ttaylorr/demo.git
! [remote rejected] master -> master (pre-receive hook declined)
error: failed to push some refs to 'git@github.com:ttaylorr/demo.git'
$ git lfs migrate info
*.psd 1.2 GB 27/27 files(s) 100%
$ git lfs migrate import --include="*.psd"
migrate: Sorting commits: ..., done
migrate: Rewriting commits: 100% (810/810), done
master f18bb746d44e8ea5065fc779bb1acdf3cdae7ed8 -> 35b0fe0a7bf3ae6952ec9584895a7fb6ebcd498b
migrate: Updating refs: ..., done
$ git push origin
Git LFS: (1 of 1 files) 1.2 GB / 1.2 GB
# ...
To github.com:ttaylorr/demo.git
* [new branch] master -> master
The migrate command has detailed options described in the git-lfs-migrate(1)
man page. Keep in mind that this is the first pass at such a command, so we
expect there to be bugs and performance issues (especially on long git histories).
Future updates to the command will be focused on improvements to allow full
LFS transitions on large repositories.
