repo backup and restore with git-lfs files

[sjamisorc]

I have many repos in Bitbucket cloud and make a local backup using git clone --mirror but that does not capture the git-lfs files.

How do I backup the git-lfs files and restore them in addition to the mirrored repo backup?

Hi @sjamisorc ,

You can fetch lfs objects in a mirror clone with the command

git lfs fetch --all

The command needs to be executed inside the directory of the mirror clone.

For restoring, after you push the mirror repo, you can do

git lfs push --all <repo-url>

Kind regards,
