But today when installing git I noticed that in the install options there was a default selected options stating "Git LFS (Large File Support)". Does this mean git is automatically adding git-LFS or just adding support for it and I'll still need to install git-lfs afterwards? Thanks, John ``` ## Taylor Blau, 2018-04-11 01:37 Subject: Re: git-lfs question Message-ID: <20180411013702.GA36736@syl.local> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20180411013702.GA36736%40syl.local In-Reply-To: ``` On Wed, Apr 11, 2018 at 01:16:42AM +0000, John Sullivan wrote: > Hello - I've seen instructions that say after installing git to also install git-lfs. > > But today when installing git I noticed that in the install options > there was a default selected options stating "Git LFS (Large File > Support)". > > Does this mean git is automatically adding git-LFS or just adding > support for it and I'll still need to install git-lfs afterwards? If you're using Git for Windows, it will install Git LFS as well by default. Of course, you can opt-out of this if it's not something that you want :-). This is not the case on other platforms, to the best of my knowledge. Thanks, Taylor ```
