Copia has now automated the setup of Git-LFS for many file types, to simplify the configuration of this essential tool for industrial automation.

Git-LFS is a Git extension that helps to manage binary and large files.  This leads to performance improvements by reducing disk space and speeding up transfer times during operations such as Clone, Push, Fetch and Pull.

Since many industrial automation files are binary or very large project files, this can be a concern for using Git for automation version control.  Copia has solved this problem by enabling Git-LFS for new customer repositories, and pre-configuring it for known file types.
