git lfs command [options]

git lfs (Large File Storage) manages large files in Git repositories. Instead of storing large binary files directly in the repository, it replaces them with lightweight pointer files and stores the actual content on a separate LFS server.
LFS significantly reduces repository size and clone times by downloading large files only on demand. It integrates transparently with standard Git commands, so `git add`, `git commit`, and `git push` work as expected while LFS handles the content storage efficiently behind the scenes.
