Git-LFS
SmartGit provides the common Git-LFS operations, provided that Git-LFS has been installed on your system and it’s configured in your Git config files, so it will work from command line.
LFS operations are available from the Local|LFS menu.
If you are encountering unexpected errors when invoking Lock or
Unlock on Window, this may be caused by a strange behavior of
current Git-LFS versions (2.5) which will fail when invoked with a
working directory with wrong case. To workaround the problem, make sure
that the path in repositories.xml
has correct case, especially the
drive letter must be uppercase, for example:
<obj type="@Repository" id="...">
<prop key="name" type="String" value="smartgit"/>
<prop key="favorite" type="boolean" value="true"/>
<prop key="git" type="boolean" value="true"/>
<prop key="path" type="String" value="D:\\smartgit"/>
<prop key="expanded" type="boolean" value="false"/>
</obj>
Displaying locks
To see Git-LFS lock states in the Files views (both Log and Working
tree window), Git-LFS locks verification must be enabled for your
repositories. A corresponding .git/config
might look like:
[lfs "https://server/repo.git/info/lfs"]
...
locksVerify = true
Furthermore, you have to enable property pull.queryRemoteLfsLocks
in
the Preferences, section Low-level Properties. This will make
SmartGit invoke an additional git lfs locks --remote
command after
every fetch for which the output will be written
to ./git/smartgit/lfs-locks-remote
. Once these files are present, the
Name column icon will start denoting the locking state for LFS
files.
To make SmartGit also display which files are lockable, set low-level
property status.evaluateLfsLockableState
. This will evaluate the
Git-LFS lockable
attribute for every file during the refresh.
