One commonly requested feature for Git LFS is support for local files. Currently, we tell users that they must use a standalone transfer agent, which is true, but nobody has provided one yet. Since writing a simple transfer agent is not very difficult, let's provide one ourselves. Introduce a basic standalone transfer agent, git lfs standalone-file, that handles uploads and downloads. Add a default configuration required for it to work, while still allowing users to override this configuration if they have a preferred implementation that is more featureful. We provide this as a transfer agent instead of built-in because it avoids the complexity of adding a different code path to the main codebase, but also serves as a demonstration of how to write a standalone transfer agent for others who might want to do so, much like Git demonstrates remote helpers using its HTTP helper. |
