git-lfs-clone(1) -- Efficiently clone a LFS-enabled repository
========================================================================

## SYNOPSIS

`git lfs clone` [git clone options] <repository> [<directory>]

## DESCRIPTION

Clone an LFS enabled Git repository more efficiently by disabling LFS during the
git clone, then performing a 'git lfs pull' directly afterwards.

This is faster than a regular 'git clone' because that will download LFS content
using the smudge filter, which is executed individually per file in the working
copy. This is relatively inefficient compared to the batch mode and parallel
downloads performed by 'git lfs pull'.

## OPTIONS

All options supported by 'git clone'

## SEE ALSO

git-clone(1), git-lfs-pull(1).

Part of the git-lfs(1) suite.
