git-lfs: Track files that match a glob.
$ git lfs track '${*-bin}'
try on your machine
This command is used in Git to set up Git Large File Storage (LFS) tracking for files with specific extensions.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
git lfs track
: This is the Git LFS command used to specify which files should be tracked using LFS.${*-bin}
: This is a placeholder representing a pattern for the filename. The*
is a wild card character that can match any characters before the "-bin" extension. This pattern could match files like "example-bin.jpg", "file123-bin.txt", etc.
The purpose of this command is to configure Git LFS to track files with the specified extension pattern. Git LFS allows you to handle large files more efficiently by storing them separately from your repository. Instead of storing the actual content of the large files in Git, it stores pointers or references to the actual files in a separate storage (such as a Git LFS server or a cloud storage provider).
