#git #lfs
I was told, a few days ago, that git lfs only saves space on my local drive but that the server (origin, i guess) grows full of file versions.
E.g i push 3d.blend, it's 10mb.
I edit it, push again, server now reports 20mb used. Then 30mb etc.
Is this the expected lfs behaviour? Can someone point me to where this is documented?
I'd much rather there be one 3d.blend file locally AND remotely. Is that even possible to do?
I don't think people realize this issue about lfs.
