git-lfs: Change the Git LFS endpoint URL (useful if the LFS server is separate from the Git server).
$ git config -f .lfsconfig lfs.url ${lfs_endpoint_url}
try on your machine

This command is used to modify the Git configuration file related to large file storage (LFS). Here is a breakdown of its components:

  • git config: This command is used to configure various aspects of Git, such as user information, preferences, and settings.
  • -f .lfsconfig: The -f flag specifies the configuration file to be modified. In this case, it refers to the .lfsconfig file.
  • lfs.url: This is the specific Git configuration property that will be modified. It represents the URL of the LFS server or endpoint.
  • ${lfs_endpoint_url}: This is a placeholder indicating that the value of the lfs.url property will be replaced with the provided lfs_endpoint_url.

In summary, this command updates the lfs.url property in the .lfsconfig file with the provided lfs_endpoint_url, allowing Git to interact with the specified LFS server for managing large files.
