Working git-lfs custom transfer and extension implementations to use IPFS as storage.
git clone [email protected]:sameer/git-lfs-ipfs.git
cd git-lfs-ipfs/git-lfs-ipfs-cli
cargo build --releaseNone yet!
Add the custom transfer and extensions for IPFS to your ~/.gitconfig:
[lfs "customtransfer.ipfs"]
path = git-lfs-ipfs-cli
args = transfer
concurrent = true
direction = both
[lfs "extension.ipfs"]
clean = git-lfs-ipfs-cli clean %f
smudge = git-lfs-ipfs-cli smudge %f
priority = 0
Note that git-lfs-ipfs will be enabled by default for all future LFS usage if you add these lines to your configuration.
A demo repository is available to test out your installation: sameer/git-lfs-ipfs-demo.
Use git LFS like you usually do and all subsequent files added in LFS will be added to IPFS.
Currently files already on S3, etc. cannot be read unless you remove the [lfs "customtransfer.ipfs"] entry in ~/.gitconfig, because the IPFS custom transfer overrides your default transfer.
