How to install Git Large File Storage on Windows?
11,596
The only reason why "git lfs" would not be a git command would be because the git-lfs.exe
hasn't been put in your %PATH%
.
That is what the git-lfs-windows-amd64-0.5.3\install.bat
is supposed to do.
set GIT_LFS_BIN_PATH="%LOCALAPPDATA%\GitLFS\bin"
IF EXIST %GIT_LFS_BIN_PATH% GOTO DIRECTORY_EXISTS
mkdir %GIT_LFS_BIN_PATH%
set "path=%PATH%;%GIT_LFS_BIN_PATH:"=%"
So:
- Make sure install.bat was successfully executed
- Check the content of "
%LOCALAPPDATA%\GitLFS\bin
" - make sure to open a new CMD Windows
- Check your
%PATH%
environment variable

According to its doc, double-click should be enough. But when I opened git bash and ran
git lfs init
, it doesn't work:$ git lfs init git: 'lfs' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.

Nitay about 7 yearsThis should either be in the git-lfs docs or added to the installer, as all Windows users encounter this.
