The local repository needs to be configured after\nevery clone instead. So when cloning a repository Git won't know where to find the LFS files\nand fail. There is really no way around this, but to make things easy I have hidden most of\nthe required configuration inside the `git-lfs-webdav init` command.\n\n### Configure a new repository\n\n* Configure your repository as usual with Git and Git LFS\n* You will need the `git-lfs-webdav` executable\n  * Either include it in your repository so that users won't have to install it\n    (e.g. `.lfs/git-lfs-webdav-[platform]`)\n  * or put it on `PATH` yourself (your users will have to do the same)\n* Initialize WebDAV using\n  * `./.lfs/git-lfs-webdav-[platform] init https://your/webdav/folder/` (if included)\n  * or `git-lfs-webdav init https://your/webdav/folder/`\n* Commit the created `.lfsconfig` (and the binaries if you have included them)\n* Push everything as usual\n\n### Clone an existing repository\n\n* Clone the repository as usual using `git clone \u003curl\u003e`\n  * This will work for the normal files but it will fail with `Error downloading object` for the LFS files\n* Enter your cloned repository with `cd \u003cfolder\u003e`\n* You will need the `git-lfs-webdav` executable\n  * Either it is included in your repository\n    (e.g. `.lfs/git-lfs-webdav-[platform]`)\n  * or you have to put it on `PATH` yourself\n* Initialize WebDAV using\n  * `./.lfs/git-lfs-webdav-[platform] init` (if included)\n  * or `git-lfs-webdav init`\n* As instructed by the initialization run `git reset --hard master` to fix your LFS files.\n\n## Troubleshooting\n\n### Authorize 401 Error\n\n`git-lfs-webdav` will use the credential manager of git. Ensure that there is no leftover\nentry in the configured credential backend (e.g. the Windows Credential Manager on Windows).\n\nYou should normally be prompted to enter a username and password by the configured\ncredential backend. If this does not work (for whatever reason) you can always configure\nthe login credentials using\n  * `./.lfs/git-lfs-webdav-[platform] login` (if included)\n  * or `git-lfs-webdav login`\n\nThe entered credentials will be stored in cleartext in the `.git/config` file of your local\nrepository (to prevent them from being committed accidentally).","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmpotthoff%2Fgit-lfs-webdav","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fmpotthoff%2Fgit-lfs-webdav","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmpotthoff%2Fgit-lfs-webdav/lists"}
