firefund-lfs

Basically this is for all the large files we need to collaborate on. This includes Illustrator/Photoshop files. Images and pdfs. You need to be in the Creative class to have push access to this repository.

Prerequisites

You can test if you have git and git-lfs installed by trying to call them in your terminal/cmd.

git --version
git lfs

1. Install git - our version control
2. Install git lfs - our version control for large files like pictures and Illustrator documents

Getting started

1. Go to https://github.com/Firefund/firefund-lfs/ and copy the git url.
2. Download the repository (git lfs clone https://github.com/Firefund/firefund-lfs.git) and cd into the firefund-lfs folder.
3. Download our files from git Large File Storage (lfs) by writting git lfs pull.

You can see which type of files that are in git lfs by writting: git lfs track. And you can add new file types by writting: git lfs track "*.filetype" where filetype is the file extension that you want to put in git lfs, e.g. *.ai or *.pdf.

Using git lfs

After the steps in Getting started, you should only need to use normal git commands. That is:

1. git pull - download all new commits and git lfs files.
2. git status - see if you have any files to commit or push.
3. git commit -am "message" - commit files with a "message".
4. git push - push files to our server.
