git-lfs-install(1) -- Install Git LFS configuration. ======================================================== ## SYNOPSIS `git lfs install` [options] ## DESCRIPTION Perform the following actions to ensure that Git LFS is setup properly: * Set up the clean and smudge filters under the name "lfs" in the global Git config. * Install a pre-push hook to run git-lfs-pre-push(1) for the current repository, if run from inside one. ## OPTIONS Without any options, `git lfs install` will only setup the "lfs" smudge and clean filters if they are not already set. * `--force`: Sets the "lfs" smudge and clean filters, overwriting existing values. * `--local`: Sets the "lfs" smudge and clean filters in the local repository's git config, instead of the global git config. * `--skip-smudge`: Skips automatic downloading of objects on clone or pull. This requires a manual "git lfs pull" every time a new commit is checked out on your repository. ## SEE ALSO git-lfs-uninstall(1). Part of the git-lfs(1) suite.
