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:

1. Discover the LFS Server to use.
2. Apply Authentication.
3. Request the Batch API to upload or download objects.
4. The Batch API's response dictates how the client will transfer the objects.

Current transfer adapters include:

• Basic

Experimental transfer adapters include:

• Tus.io (upload only)
• Custom
