Add support for Git LFS

Open NeurekaSoftware opened this issue 9 months ago • 3 comments

Hey, I just came across this project and it works really well for my needs- but it doesn't backup git lfs files. 🥺

Having the option to include git lfs files is extremely important for my use case.

Can you add support to include all LFS files in the backup via a configuration setting?

Hi, I am using go-git for all git operations in this tool. And sadly they don't support LFS at this time.

So adding support for this would most likely involve work on a scale larger than the entirety of this tool. Sorry.

It might be worth leaving a disclaimer in the projects readme. This is a backup tool and I'd hate to see people lose data because LFS files aren't included.

Completely agree, if it is not supported it should be notified in the readme.
