Issue downloading LFS file from github #8

Closed aalugore closed 4 years ago

aalugore commented 4 years ago

Hello! I am having an issue where I do not have access to git-lfs proper, but do have access to this. Can I get a usage example on how to use this tool? specifically, I want to download the lfs file referenced in this file: https://github.com/NVIDIA/DALI_extra/blob/master/db/MNIST/testing/data.mdb

Is that possible with this tool?

Changaco commented 4 years ago

The tool isn't designed to download a particular file, it downloads all the externally stored files referenced in the repository.

aalugore commented 4 years ago

That would work as well. What would be the usage example if I wanted all externally stored lfs files in the DALI_extra repo?

Changaco commented 4 years ago

Just run python -m git_lfs in the repository where you've cloned the DALI_extra repository.
