I've tried to push my unity repo to my github but since the files are so large I thought to use LFS. Installed LFS, ran git lfs install in the terminal, add, commit and push, and I get the following errors:

Am I missing something to initialise LFS ? it seems it's trying to push the repo without using LFS.. Thanks!
CodePudding user response：
Installing LFS only affects new commits. You'll have to rewrite the repo to move the old files to LFS as well:
It's safest to do a fresh git clone --mirror for a few reasons:
You can do a mirror clone, which will clone the remote into a bare repository locally so that you don't check out all your large files unnecessarily. It will also get all the remote branches and tags, and set up remote tracking branches so that you can safely perform a force push.
git clone --mirror [email protected]:ethomson/repo.git
git lfs migrate import --everything
git reflog expire --expire=now --all
git gc --prune=now --aggressive
git push --mirror --force
WARNING This will change your history. Make sure all outstanding work is synchronized and all developers on your repo sync their repo before continuing to work.
Get your users to reclone their repositories. I am generally loathe to encourage people to ever do this - a lot of people follow the delete and re-clone strategy when something goes wrong in their work and it's quite an anti-pattern. There are really no problems in Git that are so hairy that you need to get rid of the repository and start over; solving these problems without doing that will really level-up your Git knowledge.
This is the exception - we've rewritten every branch and there's no simple way to update. Instead, cloning a new copy of the repository is the right way to go. (Bonus: it's now much quicker to clone the repository since you don't have all those messy binaries.)
