Force lfs to overwrite remote

[Craig Williams]

I'm getting close to my limit for LFS on Bitbucket. I'd like to delete all of the LFS files stored in the repo, and the use my local copy to reupload the latest version.

I'm aware that I can delete the individual files as per here, but how to I force LFS to push the local branch head without making changes to everything in it?

I've tried using:

git lfs push --all

but that seems to upload the history of everything on LFS, which means that my limit is full again...

Hello @Craig Williams,

Thanks for reaching out.

I'm not sure there's a ready to use command / option for this, but something like this should work:

git lfs ls-files -l | awk '{ print $1 }' | xargs git lfs push --object-id origin

 Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Daniil
