git−lfs−track − View or add Git LFS paths to Git attributes
git lfs track [options] [pattern...]
Start tracking the given patterns(s) through Git LFS. The pattern argument is written to .gitattributes. If no paths are provided, simply list the currently−tracked paths.
The gitattributes documentation https://git−scm.com/docs/gitattributes states that patterns use the gitignore pattern rules https://git−scm.com/docs/gitignore to match paths. This means that patterns which contain asterisk (*), question mark (?), and the bracket characters ([ and ]) are treated specially; to disable this behavior and treat them literally instead, use −−filename or escape the character with a backslash.
|
○ |
−−verbose −v: If enabled, have git lfs track log files which it will touch. Disabled by default. | ||
|
○ |
−−dry−run −d: If enabled, have git lfs track log all actions it would normally take (adding entries to .gitattributes, touching files on disk, etc) without performing any mutative operations to the disk. |
git lfs track −−dry−run [files] also implicitly mocks the behavior of passing the −−verbose, and will log in greater detail what it is doing.
Disabled by default.
|
○ |
−−filename Treat the arguments as literal filenames, not as patterns. Any special glob characters in the filename will be escaped when writing the .gitattributes file. | ||
|
○ |
−−lockable −l Make the paths ´lockable´, meaning they should be locked to edit them, and will be made read−only in the working copy when not locked. | ||
|
○ |
−−not−lockable Remove the lockable flag from the paths so they are no longer read−only unless locked. | ||
|
○ |
−−no−excluded Do not list patterns that are excluded in the output; only list patterns that are tracked. | ||
|
○ |
−−no−modify−attrs Makes matched entries stat−dirty so that Git can re−index files you wish to convert to LFS. Does not modify any .gitattributes file(s). |
