Git skip LFS on local repo

README.md

Because GitKraken and SourceTree are FUCKING SLOW for repo with large LFS objects.

Need to completely skip LFS operation when pull/fetch/checkout/...

Skip downloading when clone

GIT_LFS_SKIP_SMUDGE=1 git clone SERVER-REPOSITORY

Skip downloading when fetch/checkout/pull

1. Edit .git/config

[filter "lfs"]
        clean = git-lfs clean -- %f
        smudge = git-lfs smudge --skip
        process = git-lfs filter-process --skip
        checkout =
        required = false
[lfs]
        fetchexclude = *

such that LFS will not download objects from remote, even if git lfs pull

Remove LFS objects from existing repo

1. remove all LFS files
2. rm -f .git/lfs/objects/*, so LFS will not copy from disk.
3. git reset HEAD --hard

works fine with command line, GitKraken and SourceTree.
