Git Large File Storage (Git LFS) is an open-source extension to Git that allows you to work with large files the same way as any other text file.
With Git LFS, you and your repository's contributors can clone large files from the Git command line, open pull requests, and comment on the diffs. It's the ideal solution for pushing files to GitHub that are larger than 100 MB.

Once Git LFS is installed, you need to associate it with a large file in your repository.
