Hello,
Does anybody know where to put git lfs files?
Thank you
Hi Ilya – would you mind providing more context on what you’re goals are for storing git lfs files so we can help figure out the right solution for you?
Hi Ryan,
I’m trying to go trough this tutorial:Getting started tutorial part 1: setting up the Butler data repository — LSST Science Pipelines
Thank you.
Ah. The pipelines.lsst.io documentation is out of date. I’ll create a ticket to fix it.
In the meantime, all you should need to do, if you are not going to be pushing git-lfs data, and you are running within the pipelines environment, is to run git lfs install. That should be sufficient to give you read-only access. Current git-lfs documentation is available in the Developer Guide at Using Git LFS (Large File Storage) for data repositories — LSST DM Developer Guide main documentation but since you’re asking, and since the Pipelines documentation points you there if you need write access, I’m guessing that you only need read access.
In which case, if git lfs install isn’t all you need, please report that back here so I can fix it. If you’re running outside the pipelines environment you will need to get the git lfs module as well; the Developer Guide covers that too.

The docs were already updated, but since they’re only published with a Pipelines release, that’s not reflected on the site. Next release we will have caught up.
V28 should be out next week.
