When you check out a revision with such a pointer, LFS simply looks up the original file (possibly on the server if it's not in its own, special cache) and downloads it for you.\n\nThereby, you end up with only the files you really want - not a whole bunch of superfluous data that you might never need.\n\n## Installing LFS\n\nLFS is not (yet) part of the core Git binary, but it's available as an extension.\nThis means that, before we can work with LFS, we need to make sure it's installed.\n\n#### Server\n\nNot all code hosting services support LFS already. As a GitLab user, however, there's not much to worry about:\nif you're using GitLab.com or a halfway recent version of GitLab CE or EE, [support for LFS is already baked in](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/topics/git/lfs/index.html)!\nYour administrator only need to [enable the LFS option](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/lfs/index.html).\n\n#### Local machine\n\nYour local Git installation also needs to support LFS.\nIf you're using [Tower](https://www.git-tower.com/?utm_source=gitlab-blog&utm_campaign=GitLab%20LFS&utm_medium=guest-post), a Git desktop client, you don't have to install anything: Tower supports the Git Large File System out of the box.\n\nIf you're using Git on the command line, there are different installation options available to you:\n\n- Binary Packages: Up-to-date [binary packages](https://github.com/git-lfs/git-lfs/releases) are available for Windows, Mac, Linux, and FreeBSD.\n- Linux: Packages for Debian and RPM are available from [PackageCloud](https://packagecloud.io/github/git-lfs/install).\n- macOS: You can use [Homebrew](https://github.com/Homebrew/brew) via \"brew install git-lfs\" or [MacPorts](https://www.macports.org) via \"port install git-lfs\".\n- Windows: You can use the [Chocolatey](https://chocolatey.org/) package manager via \"choco install git-lfs\".\n\nAfter your package manager has finished its work, you need to complete the installation with the \"lfs install\" command:\n\n```\ngit lfs install\n```\n\n## Tracking files with LFS\n\nWithout further instructions, LFS won't take care of your large file problems.\nWe'll have to tell LFS explicitly which files it should handle!\n\nSo let's return to our \"big Photoshop file\" example. We can instruct LFS to take care of the \"design.psd\" file using the \"lfs track\" command:\n\n```\ngit lfs track \"design-resources/design.psd\"\n```\n\nAt first glance, the command didn't seem to have much effect. However, you'll notice that a new file in the project's root folder has been created (or changed, if it already existed): `.gitattributes` collects all file patterns that we choose to track via LFS. Let's take a look at its contents:\n\n```\ncat .gitattributes\ndesign-resources/design.psd filter=lfs diff=lfs merge=lfs -text\n```\n\nPerfect! From now on, LFS will handle this file. We can now go ahead and add it to the repository in the way we're used to.\nNotice that any changes to `.gitattributes` also have to be committed to the repository, just like other modifications:\n\n```\ngit add .gitattributes\ngit add design-resources/design.psd\ngit commit -m \"Add design file\"\n```\n\n## Tracking file patterns\n\nAdding a specific, single file like this is all well and good... but what if you want to track, for example, _every_ `.indd` file in our project?\nPlease relax: you don't have to add each file manually! LFS allows you to define file patterns, much like when ignoring files.\nThe following command, for example, will instruct LFS to track all _InDesign_ files - existing ones and future ones:\n\n```\ngit lfs track \"*.indd\"\n```\n\nYou could also tell LFS to track the contents of a whole directory:\n\n```\ngit lfs track \"design-assets/*\"\n```\n\n## Getting an overview of tracked files\n\nAt some point, you might want to know which files exactly are tracked by LFS at the moment.\nYou could simply take a look at the `.gitattributes` file. However, these are not _actual_ files, but only rules and therefore highly \"theoretical\": individual files might have slipped through, e.g. due to typos or overly restrictive rules.\n\nTo see a list of the _actual_ files that you're currently tracking, simply use the `git lfs ls-files` command:\n\n```\ngit lfs ls-files\n194dcdb603 * design-resources/design.psd\n```\t\t\n\n## Track as early as possible\n\nRemember that LFS does _not_ change the laws of nature: things that were committed to the repository are there to stay.\nIt's very hard (and dangerous) to change a project's commit history.\n\nThis means that you should tell LFS to track a file _before_ it's committed to the repository.\n{: .alert .alert-info}\n\nOtherwise, it has become part of your project's history - including all of its megabytes and gigabytes...\n\nThe ideal moment to configure which file patterns you want to track is right when initializing a repository (just like with [ignoring files](https://www.git-tower.com/learn/git/ebook/en/desktop-gui/basics/starting-with-an-unversioned-project?utm_source=gitlab-blog&utm_campaign=GitLab%20LFS&utm_medium=guest-post#chapter_ignoring+files)).\n\n## Using LFS in a GUI\n\nAlthough LFS is not difficult to use, there are still commands to remember and things to mess up.\nIf you want to be more productive with Git (and LFS), have a look at [Tower](https://www.git-tower.com/?utm_source=gitlab-blog&utm_campaign=GitLab%20LFS&utm_medium=guest-post), a Git desktop client for Mac and Windows.\nSince Tower comes with built-in support for Git LFS, there is nothing to install. The app has been around for several years and is trusted by over 80,000 users all over the world.\n\n![Using Tower to be more productive with Git and Git LFS](https://about.gitlab.com/images/blogimages/getting-started-with-git-lfs-tutorial/tower-lfs.gif)\n\nAdditionally, Tower provides a direct [integration with GitLab](/blog/gitlab-tower-integration-coupon-code/)! After connecting your GitLab account in Tower, you can clone and create repositories with just a single click.\n\n## Working with Git\n\nA great aspect of LFS is that you can maintain your normal Git workflow: staging, committing, pushing, pulling and everything else works just like before.\nApart from the commands we've discussed, there's nothing to watch out for.\n\nLFS will provide the files you need, _when_ you need them.\n\nIn case you're looking for more information about LFS, have a look at this free [online book](https://www.git-tower.com/learn/git/ebook/en/desktop-gui/advanced-topics/git-lfs?utm_source=gitlab-blog&utm_campaign=GitLab%20LFS&utm_medium=guest-post).\nFor general insights about Git, take a
