How to configure LFS in your repository

First, install Git LFS on your machine.

brew install git-lfs

Enable LFS for your repository.

git lfs install

Add the files you want to track with LFS.

git lfs track "*.png"
git lfs track "*.jpg"
git lfs track "*.psd"
git lfs track "*.fbx"
git lfs track "*.obj"
git lfs track "*.wav"
git lfs track "*.mp3"
git lfs track "*.ogg"
git lfs track "*.anim"
git lfs track "*.controller"
git lfs track "*.mat"
git lfs track "*.prefab"
git lfs track "*.unity"
git lfs track "*.asset"
git lfs track "*.unitypackage"

Then, configure LFS for your repository.

git config lfs.https://git.example.org/user/repo.git/info/lfs.locksverify true

(ALCOM only) Export the repositories text file

When you git clone this repo, it won't include any packages required by the manifest. This is by design, so we need to install them via ALCOM, but we first need to import any necessary repositories.

So its highly recommended to export the repositories text file before pushing any changes.
