NodeGit LFS

Nodegit LFS is an extension library used to augment NodeGit with the capability to use git lfs via the command line.

To use this package, you must have git and git lfs installed.

This project is new, and is highly volatile. It should be noted that any subsequesnt releases may have breaking changes for the foreseeable future.

How to get started

NodeGit is a peer dependency of the NodeGit LFS package, so you should make sure to install NodeGit before NodeGit LFS.

To install NodeGit run:

yarn add nodegit

To install NodeGit LFS run:

yarn add nodegit-lfs

Once installed, you only need to bootstrap NodeGit LFS once:

const nodegit = require('nodegit');
const addLfs = require('nodegit-lfs');

// Call the function returned from nodegit-lfs with nodegit as a parameter
// and you are good to go!
addLfs(nodegit);

// After nodegit has been augmented you can use LFS via the LFS object
nodegit.LFS.register()
  .then(() => {
    console.log('The LFS filter has been registered!');
  });
