Installation¶

Please refer to git-lfs Installation for instructions on how to install git-lfs.

Tips and Traps¶

Track a large file.
```
 :::bash
 git lfs track "*.pickle"
```
It seems to be that git-lfs automatically tracks large files now if it is installed and enabled, which makes things more convenient.
