The command `git lfs install` will install Git LFS in the Git user scope by default. However, our help files indicate that the setup is repository scoped. Adjust the setup instructions to match what the command is doing. The `git lfs install` command has flags to install Git LFS repository scoped (`--local`) and machine scoped (`--system`). However, I think we should not clutter the setup instructions with these details.
