How do I verify if my LFS files are correctly downloaded?

Run the 'just lfs verify' command via the skill to check if all tracked files have been properly checked out and are not still in their pointer state.

What is the LFS skill used for?

It is used to manage large binary files in a Git repository that are tracked via Git LFS, such as images, videos, VM images, or documentation assets.

Can I fetch only specific LFS files to save bandwidth?

Yes, the skill supports pattern-based fetching. You can specify a glob pattern to download only the specific assets you need, such as images in a particular folder.

What happens if I encounter an authentication error during LFS fetch?

The skill includes troubleshooting guidance for LFS authentication, suggesting ways to fill Git credentials to allow the LFS server to authenticate your request.

How do I fix LFS files appearing as text pointers?

You can use the 'just lfs checkout' command through this skill to automatically replace the text pointers with the actual binary file content.
