How to disable Git LFS on Bitbucket Cloud

[Ian Day]

There's an option to just turn off Git LFS support on Bitbucket Server, but not on Cloud.

How can we do this?

Hi @Ian Day ,

I'm afraid that at the moment there is no such option available in Bitbucket Cloud.

I can open a feature request for this in our issue tracker if you'd be interested in that, for our product managers to take into account. Please feel free to let me know if you'd like me to do that.

May I ask why you would want to disable Git LFS and how that would be useful for you?

Kind regards,
Theodora

Well, ita a long story. But the ultimate issue was a forced upgrade of BitBucket due to migrating to cloud caused many issues. Not least of which was macOS not recognising that git-lfs was installed, regardless of the fact that it worked while logged on as the same user that the Bamboo agent was running.

In the end I solved it by editing the com.atlassian.bamboo.plist service file to run the service under bash instead of directly. This is another issue, but the thing should just work.

And in the end, just seems an omission not to be able to decide.
