September 18, 2017 - When I need to update from my remote, I type 'git lfs pull' .. nothing happens, then I type 'git pull' and content starts to download.

February 12, 2026 - The easiest way to configure Git LFS is to download this .gitattributes file, which was configured to work with Unreal and Unity Engine, and place it in the root folder of your Git repository. Then use a desktop application like SourceTree, Fork, or Anchorpoint that supports Git LFS to push and pull files.

Git Large File Storage (LFS) is an extension for Git that allows users to manage large files efficiently. The git lfs pull command is specifically used to download large files tracked by Git LFS from a remote repository to your local machine.

In each Git repository where you want to use Git LFS, select the file types you'd like Git LFS to manage (or directly edit your .gitattributes).

November 25, 2025 - If the installed Git version is at least 2.42.0, in a non-bare repository this command will by default fetch and check out Git LFS objects for files only if they are present in the Git index and if they match a Git LFS filter attribute from a .gitattributes file that is present in either the index or the current working tree (or, as is always the case, if they match a Git LFS filter attribute in a local gitattributes file such as $GIT_DIR/info/attributes).

May 22, 2015 - This is especially problematic on Travis: the repository is cloned before everything, so I have to install git-lfs and then somehow refresh the repository. I have tried many things (init, pull, checkout, …) without success…

October 9, 2023 - Hi, I’m having trouble deploying from a repository that uses Github’s LFS. The file is stored in Github here: Note the “Stored with Git LFS” header. My latest branch deploy is here: https://65238e3ed713cf3d1262c490--zakj.netlify.app/fonts/GT-Walsheim-Black.woff2 Instead of the contents of the file, I’m seeing git-lfs metadata: version https://git-lfs.github.com/spec/v1 oid sha256:cc9311d1aea34923c6590a55bfcdb66a5cdec627fa11022e9383aec06aab79a5 size 46256 I have tried with GIT_LFS_ENABLED ...

October 4, 2024 - The git lfs pull command combines the actions of git lfs fetch and git lfs checkout. It fetches the LFS files for the currently checked-out branch and then updates the working directory with those files.

January 31, 2019 - From the descriptions in #2594 (comment) it sounds like the smudging performance improvements git lfs pull brings are being upstreamed into git pull, which is awesome! So if using Git 2.15.0 or abo...

August 22, 2024 - To download all files, including those managed by Git LFS, you can either configure your Git LFS settings or use specific commands. ... By default, the above command only downloads pointers for LFS-managed files, not the actual large files themselves. To pull all files managed by Git LFS after cloning the repository, you need to ensure that Git LFS downloads the files.

January 12, 2026 - This means you can use Git LFS without changing your existing Git workflow; you simply git checkout, edit, git add, and git commit as normal. git clone and git pull operations will be significantly faster as you only download the versions of large files referenced by commits that you actually check out, rather than every version of the file that ever existed.

February 16, 2023 - After the repository is cloned, Git will check the default branch, and all the LFS files that are required to be checked out are automatically downloaded. The git pull command is only used to pull the LFS repository.
