Git LFS API

The Git LFS client uses an HTTPS server to coordinate fetching and storing large binary objects separately from a Git server. The basic process the client goes through looks like this:

  3. Request the Batch API to upload or download objects.
  4. The Batch API's response dictates how the client will transfer the objects.
