For most people, Git Large File Storage (LFS) is a black box. You install it and somehow Git handles large files differently. But how does it manage the files? How does it know how and when to upload the files? And how was this implemented using only native Git extensibility points? This post will uncover its secrets and how it uses Git hooks and filters to manage large files.

Migrating repositories with LFS can be tricky. This is especially true when the repository is configured to use an LFS endpoint that is separate from the Git repository. Learn how to safely migrate repositories that are using .lfsconfig to manage the storage location.

Unlocking the power of GitOps means learning to use Git as the source of truth for deployments. Key to that is understanding the three models used for defining your GitOps practices.

Submodules can require some additional considerations during a migration. If the submodule repositories have large files that need to be migrated to LFS, the change to the commit IDs can break the submodules. This post explains why the problem happens, how to avoid issues during migration, and how to fix problems when they happen.

As a monorepo grows in size, the performance often degrades. It’s the nature of Git. Thankfully, Git has some settings that you can use to improve the performance of your monorepo. This post covers some of the key settings and best practices for working with large monorepos.
