Git LFS
Git LFS (Large File Storage) is an extension for big files like images, videos and archives. Git stores a small text pointer, and the real file is kept on an LFS server.
This keeps the repository small and fast to clone. You choose which files go to LFS with git lfs track, which writes the rule to .gitattributes.
