Git LFS and Github Free Tier | Pixels May Jitter

GitHub gets more generous with LFS storage
I stumbled over this today. It's nice that they are including more LFS storage to the free tier (10GB) and to the team tier (250GB). Everything above that is pay per use. So no need to buy LFS storage packs More on reddit.com

Is there a good large file storage solution that works with Git that is free?
You could look into setting up your own git/git-lfs server on a cheap virtual private server. Gitea appears to be pretty full featured, including LFS support. More on reddit.com

You probably shouldn't bother with (free tier) Github LFS – wlcx.cc
October 15, 2024 - We use Github Actions to build and deploy the site, which for every deployment would checkout a copy, and with it download all the LFS-stored files. So given the circa-300MB checkout plus some activity of users pulling and pushing to the repo was more than enough to blow past the 1GB bandwidth limit. To be clear, I appreciate that this is a free service.

GitHub Large File Storage (git lfs) is basically paid only – James O'Claire
December 6, 2024 - GitHub Large File Storage counts your bandwidth as any push/pull/clone or other action by any person that uses the files stored in LFS. As far as file storage goes, that is basically paid only. The price I’m seeing is only $5 a month for 50GB. That sounds pretty reasonable for the storage, ...

r/gamedev on Reddit: Is there a good large file storage solution that works with Git that is free?
January 20, 2022 -

I know Git has their LFS service but I'm trying to find options that are lower cost (very low budget lol). So far my dev buddy and I have been sharing large files (high res textures mostly) over Dropbox/Google Drive, but the syncing doesn't always work correctly on my machine and it's a bit of a pain point in our workflow. We use Unity, fwiw.

Would love any advice on this from anyone who has encountered this issue! If the only option is paid, then it's paid. But if there's a free option out there, I'd love to hear about it! Thanks the any advice!
