Managing large files such as audio, video and graphics files has always been one
of the shortcomings of Git. The general recommendation is to not have Git repositories
larger than 1GB to preserve performance.

## Requirements
-
Git LFS is supported in GitLab starting with version 8.2
-
Git LFS must be enabled under project settings
-
[

https://git-lfs.github.com
)
version 1.0.1 and up must be installed

## Known limitations
-
Git LFS v1 original API is not supported, because it was deprecated early in LFS
development.
-
When SSH is set as a remote, Git LFS objects still go through HTTPS.
-
Any Git LFS request asks for HTTPS credentials
to be provided so
a good Git
credentials store
is recommended
.

NOTE:
With 8.12 GitLab added LFS support to SSH. The Git LFS communication
still goes over HTTP, but now the SSH client passes the correct credentials
to the Git LFS client. No action is required by the user.
