## Git LFS remark ## Git LFS remark
If you want to play with git-lfs (https://git-lfs.github.com/) on GitLab, you should do the following: Starting with GitLab 8.12, GitLab supports Git LFS authentication through ssh.
* Install LFS-server (no production-ready implementation yet, but you can use https://github.com/github/lfs-test-server) on any host;
* Add some user on LFS-server (for example: user ```foo``` with password ```bar```);
* Add ```git-lfs-authenticate``` script in any PATH-available directory on GIT-server like this:
```
#!/bin/sh
echo "{
\"href\": \"http://lfs.test.local:9999/test/test\",
\"header\": {
\"Authorization\": \"Basic `echo -n foo:bar | base64`\"
}
}"
```
After that you can play with git-lfs (git-lfs feature will be available via ssh protocol).
This design will work without a script git-lfs-authenticate, but with the following limitations:
* You will need to manually configure lfs-server URL for every user working copy;
* SSO don't work and you need to manually add lfs-server credentials for every user working copy (otherwise, git-lfs will ask for the password for each file).
Useful links:
* https://github.com/github/git-lfs/tree/master/docs/api - Git LFS API, also contains more information about ```git-lfs-authenticate```;
* https://github.com/github/git-lfs/wiki/Implementations - Git LFS-server implementations.
