Git LFS (Large File Storage) ialah sambungan untuk mengendalikan fail binari besar (video, set data, aset reka bentuk, binari besar) dengan cekap dalam Git. Git direka untuk teks/kod sumber dan mengendalikan binari besar dengan buruk, jadi LFS menyimpannya secara berasingan sambil mengekalkan rujukan ringan dalam repositori.
Masalahnya: Git dan binari besar
Git stores every version of every file in its history (the full content):
→ LARGE BINARY files (videos, datasets, PSDs, big binaries) bloat the repo ENORMOUSLY:
- every change stores another full copy (binaries don't diff well)
- the repo and EVERY clone become huge and slow (clone/fetch download all history)
- history can't be shrunk easily (the large blobs are permanent)
→ Git is great for source code (text, diffable), POOR for large binaries.
