LFSPull - a simple pulling tool for git-lfs

Features

LFSPull allows you to pull files from git-lfs. It currently supports:

• Token-auth only
• Pulling single files
• Globbing patterns and pulling all matches
• Cache-compatible with the original git-lfs
• Hash verification of the downloaded file

CLI guide

The CLI is pretty straight forward.

• -f / --file-to-pull [FILE] single file download mode
  • e.g. lfspull -f my_file.tar.gz downloads the file
• '-r / --recurse-pattern [PATTERN]' downloads everything that matches the pattern
  • e.g. 'lfspull -r "*.tgz"' downloads all .tgz files in this folder
  • e.g. 'lfspull -r "**/*.tgz"' downloads all .tgz files this folder and all subfolders
• '-b / --random-bytes [RANDOM_BYTES]' for temp file name. See https://docs.rs/tempfile/latest/tempfile/struct.Builder.html#method.rand_bytes
• '-a / --access-token [TOKEN]' sets the token - can also be set via $ACCESS_TOKEN from env
• '-v' for verbose mode

Library API guide

Please see our docs.rs for example code and the gherkin tests for how to check the origin of the file.
