Hi All,

We plan on adding videos to our projects soon. We also use Git. Using large binary files with Git is a very bad idea so we are considering enabling Git LFS (https://git-lfs.github.com/) on that repo. Will this work? Has anyone else done this?

Thanks,

Paul

Hi poflynn,

Did you ever get LFS working? I'm trying to do this with a git repo where the engineering team uses Bitbucket, so I am using git tools to interface directly with the git repo (No native support for Bitbucket in Flare).

I've proven that the repo is handling bitmap images correctly, but I also see that the repo is growing in size each time I modify a bitmap. Not by much, but it seems to defeat the objective of using LFS to eliminate binary blob growth.

If you did, I would be interested to know if you use Capture with capture overlays, and whether that worked. I have a feeling that storing the image separate from the properties might not work.

Cheers
