Git LFS Roadmap

This is a high level overview of some of the big changes we want to make for Git LFS. If you have an idea for a new feature, open an issue for discussion.

v1.0

These are the features that we feel are important for a v1 release of Git LFS, and we have a good idea how they could work.

  • Fast, efficient uploading and downloading (#414).
  • git lfs fetch command for downloading large files.
  • Automatic GC for the .git/lfs/objects directory.
  • Client side metrics reporting, so the Git LFS server can optionally track how clients are performing.
  • Ability to remove objects from the command line through the API.

Possible Features

These are features that require some more research. It's very possible that these can make it in for v1.0 if there's a great proposal.

  • Narrow clones - Allow clients to specify which large files to download automatically.
  • File locking
  • Binary diffing - reduce the amount of content sent over the wire.

These are items that don't affect Git LFS end users.

  • Releases through common package repositories: RPM, Apt, Chocolatey, Homebrew.
  • CI builds for Windows.
  • Automated build servers that build Git LFS on native platforms.
  • Automated QA test suite for running release candidates through a gauntlet of open source and proprietary Git LFS environments.
  • Automatic updates of the Git LFS client.
