add basic example in main manpage
Every time I go back to git LFS after a long break, I wonder how it works and how to get started. The first manual page is currently a reference to a fairly large number of other manual pages and, as the core documentation of LFS, does not really help users in getting basic things done. In comparison, the LFS homepage has a good primer, so I have taken it as an example for a basic example that would work in the manual page to help users get out of the weeds quickly.

## EXAMPLES
|
||||
|
||||
To get started with Git LFS, the following commands can be used.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Setup Git LFS on your system. You only have to do this once per
|
||||
repository per machine:
|
||||
|
||||
git lfs install
|
||||
|
||||
2. Choose the type of files you want to track, for examples all `ISO`
|
||||
images, with git-lfs-track(1):
|
||||
|
||||
git lfs track "*.iso"
|
||||
|
||||
3. The above stores this information in gitattributes(5) files, so
|
||||
that file need to be added to the repository:
|
||||
|
||||
git add .gitattributes
|
||||
|
||||
3. Commit, push and work with the files normally:
|
||||
|
||||
git add file.iso
|
||||
git commit -m "Add disk image"
|
||||
git push
|
||||
