How Does Git LFS Work?
Git LFS replaces large files in your repository with tiny pointer files. These pointer files contain metadata about the original large files. The actual large files are stored in a dedicated LFS server. When you check out a branch, Git LFS automatically replaces the pointer files with the corresponding large files from the LFS server.

Enter Git Large File Storage (LFS), a Git extension designed to handle these large files efficiently. In this article, we will learn more about Git LFS and how to use it effectively.
