SYNOPSIS
git lfs command [options]
DESCRIPTION
git lfs (Large File Storage) manages large files in git. Instead of storing large binary files directly, it stores pointers and keeps actual content on a separate server.
LFS reduces repository size and clone times by downloading large files on demand. It integrates transparently with git commands while storing content efficiently.
git lfs is essential for repositories with large binary assets.
