<h2 id="INCLUDE-AND-EXCLUDE">INCLUDE AND EXCLUDE</h2> |
|
|
|
<p>You can configure Git LFS to only fetch objects to satisfy references in certain |
|
paths of the repo, and/or to exclude certain paths of the repo, to reduce the |
|
time you spend downloading things you do not use.</p> |
|
|
|
<p>In gitconfig, set <code>lfs.fetchinclude</code> and <code>lfs.fetchexclude</code> to comma-separated |
|
lists of paths to include/exclude in the fetch. Only paths which are matched by |
|
<code>fetchinclude</code> and not matched by <code>fetchexclude</code> will have objects fetched for |
|
them.</p> |
|
|
|
<p>Note that using the command-line options <code>-I</code> and <code>-X</code> override the respective |
|
configuration settings. Setting either option to an empty string clears the |
|
value.</p> |
|
|
|
<h3 id="Examples-">Examples:</h3> |
|
|
|
<ul> |
|
<li><p><code>git config lfs.fetchinclude "textures,images/foo*"</code></p> |
|
|
|
<p>This will only fetch objects referenced in paths in the textures folder, and |
|
files called foo* in the images folder</p></li> |
|
<li><p><code>git config lfs.fetchinclude "*.jpg,*.png,*.tga"</code></p> |
|
|
|
<p>Only fetch JPG/PNG/TGA files, wherever they are in the repository</p></li> |
|
<li><p><code>git config lfs.fetchexclude "media/reallybigfiles"</code></p> |
|
|
|
<p>Don't fetch any LFS objects referenced in the folder media/reallybigfiles, but |
|
fetch everything else</p></li> |
|
<li><p><code>git config lfs.fetchinclude "media"</code><br /> |
|
<code>git config lfs.fetchexclude "media/excessive"</code></p> |
|
|
|
<p>Only fetch LFS objects in the 'media' folder, but exclude those in one of its |
|
subfolders.</p></li> |
|
</ul> |
|
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="DEFAULT-REMOTE">DEFAULT REMOTE</h2> |
|
|
|
<p>Without arguments, fetch downloads from the default remote. The default remote |
|
is the same as for <code>git fetch</code>, i.e. based on the remote branch you're tracking |
|
first, or origin otherwise.</p> |
|
|
|
<h2 id="DEFAULT-REFS">DEFAULT REFS</h2> |
|
|
|
<p>If no refs are given as arguments, the currently checked out ref is used. In |
|
addition, if enabled, recently changed refs and commits are also |
|
included. See <a href="#RECENT-CHANGES" title="RECENT CHANGES" data-bare-link="true">RECENT CHANGES</a> for details.</p> |
|
|
|
<h2 id="RECENT-CHANGES">RECENT CHANGES</h2> |
|
|
|
<p>If the <code>--recent</code> option is specified, or if the gitconfig option |
|
<code>lfs.fetchrecentalways</code> is true, then after the current ref (or those in the |
|
arguments) is fetched, we also search for 'recent' changes to fetch |
|
objects for, so that it's more convenient to checkout or diff those commits |
|
without incurring further downloads.</p> |
|
|
|
<p>What changes are considered 'recent' is based on a number of gitconfig options:</p> |
|
|
|
<ul> |
|
<li><p><code>lfs.fetchrecentrefsdays</code> |
|
If non-zero, includes branches which have commits within N days of the current |
|
date. Only local refs are included unless lfs.fetchrecentremoterefs is true. |
|
The default is 7 days.</p></li> |
|
<li><p><code>lfs.fetchrecentremoterefs</code> |
|
If true, fetches remote refs (for the remote you're fetching) as well as local |
|
refs in the recent window. This is useful to fetch objects for remote branches |
|
you might want to check out later. The default is true; if you set this to |
|
false, fetching for those branches will only occur when you either check them |
|
out (losing the advantage of fetch --recent), or create a tracking local |
|
branch separately then fetch again.</p></li> |
|
<li><p><code>lfs.fetchrecentcommitsdays</code> |
|
In addition to fetching at branches, also fetches changes made within N |
|
days of the latest commit on the branch. This is useful if you're often |
|
reviewing recent changes. The default is 0 (no previous changes).</p></li> |
|
<li><p><code>lfs.fetchrecentalways</code> |
|
Always operate as if --recent was provided on the command line.</p></li> |
|
</ul> |
|
|
