Git large object promisors

Open ValorZard opened this issue 4 months ago • 1 comments

Summary 💡

Sequel to https://github.com/GitoxideLabs/gitoxide/issues/1796 According to https://tylercipriani.com/blog/2025/08/15/git-lfs/ git is (sort of) adding a built-in version of Git LFS called Git large object promisors. It would be nice if Gitoxide added support for it at some point.

Official documentation at: https://git-scm.com/docs/large-object-promisors

Motivation 🔦

Unlike git lfs this is an actual API being added to the original git codebase. It would make git a lot nicer to use for storing binary assets

Thanks for the heads-up!

This does indeed look like a great way to not only handle new large objects better, but also to remove large objects from existing object stores and move them elsewhere.
