Configuring Git Large File Storage for your enterprise

About Git Large File Storage

Git Large File Storage (Git LFS) は Git のオープンソース拡張で、大きいファイルを他のテキストファイルと同じように扱えるようにしてくれます。 You can use Git Large File Storage with a single repository, all of your personal or organization repositories, or with every repository in your enterprise. Before you can enable Git LFS for specific repositories or organizations, you need to enable Git LFS for your enterprise.

By default, the Git Large File Storage client stores large assets on the same server that hosts the Git repository. When Git LFS is enabled on GitHub Enterprise Serverインスタンス, large assets are stored on the data partition in /data/user/storage.

Users cannot push Git LFS assets to GitHub Enterprise Server if Git LFS is disabled on the enterprise or repository.

For more information, see "About Git Large File Storage", "Versioning large files," and the Git Large File Storage project site.

Configuring Git Large File Storage to use a third party server

By default, the Git Large File Storage client stores large assets on the same server that hosts the Git repository. When Git LFS is enabled on GitHub Enterprise Serverインスタンス, large assets are stored on the data partition in /data/user/storage.

Users cannot push Git LFS assets to GitHub Enterprise Server if Git LFS is disabled on the enterprise or repository.

1. Disable Git LFS on GitHub Enterprise Serverインスタンス. For more information, see "Configuring Git Large File Storage for your enterprise."

2. Create a Git LFS configuration file that points to the third party server.

   # Show default configuration
   $ git lfs env
   > git-lfs/1.1.0 (GitHub; darwin amd64; go 1.5.1; git 94d356c)
   > git version 2.7.4 (Apple Git-66)
   � 
   > Endpoint=https://GITHUB-ENTERPRISE-HOST/path/to/repo/info/lfs (auth=basic)
   � 
   # Create .lfsconfig that points to third party server.
   $ git config -f .lfsconfig remote.origin.lfsurl https://THIRD-PARTY-LFS-SERVER/path/to/repo
   $ git lfs env
   > git-lfs/1.1.0 (GitHub; darwin amd64; go 1.5.1; git 94d356c)
   > git version 2.7.4 (Apple Git-66)
   � 
   > Endpoint=https://THIRD-PARTY-LFS-SERVER/path/to/repo/info/lfs (auth=none)
   � 
   # Show the contents of .lfsconfig
   $ cat .lfsconfig
   [remote "origin"]
   lfsurl = https://THIRD-PARTY-LFS-SERVER/path/to/repo

3. To keep the same Git LFS configuration for each user, commit a custom .lfsconfig file to the repository.

   $ git add .lfsconfig
   $ git commit -m "Adding LFS config file"

4. Migrate any existing Git LFS assets. For more information, see "Migrating to a different Git Large File Storage server."

Migrating to a different Git Large File Storage server

Before migrating to a different Git Large File Storage server, you must configure Git LFS to use a third party server. For more information, see "Configuring Git Large File Storage to use a third party server."

1. Configure the repository with a second remote.

   $ git remote add NEW-REMOTE https://NEW-REMOTE-HOSTNAME/path/to/repo
   � 
   $ git lfs env
   > git-lfs/1.1.0 (GitHub; darwin amd64; go 1.5.1; git 94d356c)
   > git version 2.7.4 (Apple Git-66)
   � 
   > Endpoint=https://GITHUB-ENTERPRISE-HOST/path/to/repo/info/lfs (auth=basic)
   > Endpoint (NEW-REMOTE)=https://NEW-REMOTE-HOSTNAME/path/to/repo/info/lfs (auth=none)

2. Fetch all objects from the old remote.

   $ git lfs fetch origin --all
   > Scanning for all objects ever referenced...
   > ✔ 16 objects found
   > Fetching objects...
   > Git LFS: (16 of 16 files) 48.71 MB / 48.85 MB

3. Push all objects to the new remote.

   $ git lfs push NEW-REMOTE --all
   > Scanning for all objects ever referenced...
   > ✔ 16 objects found
   > Pushing objects...
   > Git LFS: (16 of 16 files) 48.00 MB / 48.85 MB, 879.10 KB skipped
