This page lists common issues and feature requests:
- GitHub currently enforces a 2 GiB size limit per object.
- GitHub has no way to delete remote Git LFS objects except by deleting the whole repository. Be very careful about committing sensitive info, or files large enough to fill your storage quota.
- Windows clients with Git <2.34 corrupt files >4Gb (#2434)
- Windows clients must have Git Credential Manager installed (and in use), otherwise operations may hang indefinitely (#1763)
- GitLab currently (as of 11.7.3 CE) has a hard-coded timeout for the git-lfs-authenticate token of 30 minutes. GitLab also lacks support for the expires_in or expires_at properties which would mitigate this issue. See closed issue: (#3012) comment. Update: a fix was introduced in 11.9 to include the expires_in property. See (#57353) for details.
