Large binaries that change oftenGit LFS
  • Binaries don't delta well → near-full copy per version, forever.
  • LFS stores a pointer in Git; content lives outside and is fetched on checkout.
  • Adding LFS does not shrink existing history — that needs a rewrite.
  • Growing repo → Git LFS, Scalar, or Azure Artifacts.
