git-lfs-clone(1) -- Efficiently clone a LFS-enabled repository

SYNOPSIS

git lfs clone [git clone options] []

DESCRIPTION

Clone an LFS enabled Git repository more efficiently by disabling LFS during the git clone, then performing a 'git lfs pull' directly afterwards.

This is faster than a regular 'git clone' because that will download LFS content using the smudge filter, which is executed individually per file in the working copy. This is relatively inefficient compared to the batch mode and parallel downloads performed by 'git lfs pull'.

OPTIONS

All options supported by 'git clone'

SEE ALSO

git-clone(1), git-lfs-pull(1).

Part of the git-lfs(1) suite.
