Hi,

Today we're releasing Git Large File Storage (LFS), an open source extension that replaces large files with text pointers, while pushing the contents to a Git LFS server.

    https://git-lfs.github.com
It's similar to Git Media, with a few notable exceptions:
* It talks to a Git LFS API.  No need to configure different backends
on the client.
* HTTPS and SSH authentication is supported.
* It's distributed as a static binary for Linux, Mac, and Windows, no
compilation or runtime needed.  The full source is provided with an
MIT license, so you can also build it yourself with Go.
