Every time I go back to git LFS after a long break, I wonder how it works and how to get started. The first manual page is currently a reference to a fairly large number of other manual pages and, as the core documentation of LFS, does not really help users in getting basic things done. In comparison, the LFS homepage has a good primer, so I have taken it as an example for a basic example that would work in the manual page to help users get out of the weeds quickly. |
