How to Setup Git LFS for New and Existing Projects (Works With Unity)

How to Setup Git LFS for New and Existing Projects (Works With Unity)
Greetings, in this tutorial we shall be looking at how to setup Git LFS for your github project. This Git LFS tutorial will work for Git projects you have just setup and for Git projects that you already have.
Here is what you need to download and install to get Git LFS setup on your system:
GitBash download: git-scm.com/do...
Git LFS download: git-lfs.com/
Once you have Gitbash and Git LFS installed, you can follow along with this tutorial.
Here are the commands used in this Git LFS tutorial:
One line per command:
git lfs install
git lfs track "*.unity"
git lfs track "*.mp4"
git add .gitattributes
git commit -m "Tracking files with LFS"
git lfs migrate import --include="*.unity,*.mp4" --everything
git push origin main --force
Those are all of the commands used in this how to setup Git LFS tutorial. For the git lfs track commands, you can replace the file extensions with whatever file types you want git LFS to track. For example you could do "*.psd" to track photoshop files. The * is important. It is a wildcard. Which means the file can have anything in the name, as long as it ends with whatever is in the speechmarks after the * character. So if you wanted, you could remove the * and have a filename in the git track command and just track a specific file.
Git LFS is a must for Github projects that a have or are expected to have files over 100 mb in size.
Setting up Git LFS for a github repo requires you to tell Git LFS which files you want it to track. After that you need to push the gitattributes file as it stores the information on what files are being tracked by git LFS.
If you already have files pushed up that are of the type you want to track with git LFS, you need to migrate all files of the types you want to track with git LFS. Warning! This will impact all repos and anyone who tries to work with the repo will have issues if they don't have Git LFS setup. Once you do the migration you need to force push the change up to the gitbub repository.

This git LFS is only free with 1GB of storage, right?

[@rerandomized-z6i]

I have added every file type i believe there is in my project, and still I'm getting the message. Please help if you can.

[@Worlnof]

Your the man !!......Thanks a lot

[@millstack]

Hey, what if we want to track entier project and not just fome file types ? or do we need to manually mention all the file types used in the project ?

[@felixdecat8632]

Same problem here, the pulling process resulted in corrupt files. This video doesn't explain how to pull origin in the collaborator site.

[@JJNincorporated]

This was going great but then I didn't realise the full impact of the migrate command, and now none of our branches can merge back into develop :/

[@vincei2147]

Dang, all my files are referance points now. 🙃 Need a video to fix this. lol

[@arrobapontonet]

What do I do if I want to untrack files. Like, if I regret tracking a filte type?

[@hamzathulfavase3513]
