Git LFS Roadmap

This is a high level overview of some of the big changes we want to make for Git LFS. If you have an idea for a new feature, open an issue for discussion.

Bugs/Features

  • git index issues #937
  • authenticated property on urls #960
  • Use expires_at to quickly put objects in the queue to hit the API again to refresh tokens.
  • Add ref information to upload request #969
  • Accept raw remote URLs as valid #1085
  • use git proxy settings #1125
  • Not following 301 redirect #1129
  • add all lfs.* git config keys to git lfs env output
  • Teach git lfs update how to update the clean/smudge filter values #1083
  • Support multiple git alternates
  • Investigate git lfs checkout hardlinking instead of copying files.
  • Investigate --shared and --dissociate options for git clone (similar to --references)
  • Investigate GIT_SSH_COMMAND #1142
  • Teach git lfs install to use git config --system instead of git config --global by default #1177
  • Don't allow git lfs track to operate on .git* or .lfs* files #1099
  • Investigate git -c lfs.url=... lfs clone usage
  • Test that manpages are built and included #1149
  • Update CI to build from source outside of git repo #1156
  • Teach git lfs track and others to warn when git lfs install hasn't been run (or auto-install) #1167

Upcoming Features

  • File locking #666
  • Resumable uploads and downloads #414
  • Wrapped versions of git pull & git checkout that optimize without filters like git lfs clone
  • Remove non-batch API route in client

Possible Features

  • Binary diffing - reduce the amount of content sent over the wire.
  • Client side metrics reporting, so the Git LFS server can optionally track how clients are performing.
  • Pure SSH: full API & transfer support for SSH without redirect to HTTP
