horrific but working way to summarize file sizes in a directory for evaluating what's tracked by git lfs

gistfile1.sh

$ find . -type f -name '*.*' |
  sed 's/.*\.//' |
  sort -u |
  while read ext; do
    (
      gfind . -name "*$ext" -printf "%s\n" |
        sed 's/$/+/' |
        tr -d '\n'
      echo 0
    ) | bc | tr -d '\n'
    echo -e "\t$ext"
  done

Notes:

• Switch to iname if case should be insensitive for extensions
• But for Git LFS, case matters, so either lowercase all extensions, or make case insensitive LFS matchs (.[eE][xX][eE]), or:

- sort by size, find a cut off where files are to small to bother
- swap the file size with the file name using `s/(.*) (.*)/$2 $1/g`
- sort naturally
- visually find all related line endings and add each case to .gitattributes

One little bug which probably didn't affect your results. When simplifying the extension extraction to just sed 's/.*\.//' the gfind -name test should have been updated to include a literal period.

gfind . -name "*.$ext" -printf "%s\n"
