Process for migrating a Git repo to LFS support.md
  1. git lfs install
  2. clone repo
  3. checkout branch(es) that you want to migrate
  4. remove remotes
    • git remote remove <remote name>
  5. git lfs migrate import --include="*.uasset","*.umap","*.lib" --everything
    • --include has example file types.
    • --everything will do all branches
  6. create new remote repo
  7. add remote(s) back in git remote add origin <URL> for new repo created above
  8. git push -u origin --all push all branches
