GIT-LFS-TRACK(1)						GIT-LFS-TRACK(1)

NAME
     git-lfs-track - View or add Git LFS paths to Git attributes

SYNOPSIS
     git lfs track [options] [<pattern>...]

DESCRIPTION
     Start tracking the given patterns(s) through Git LFS. The argument is writ-
     ten  to  .gitattributes.  If  no  paths  are provided, simply list the cur-
     rently-tracked paths.

     The gitattributes documentation <https://git-scm.com/docs/gitattributes>
     states that patterns use the gitignore pattern rules
     <https://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore> to match paths. This means that pat-
     terns which contain asterisk (*), question mark (?), and the bracket char-
     acters ([ and ]) are treated specially; to disable this behavior and treat
     them literally instead, use --filename or escape the character with a back-
     slash.

OPTIONS
     --verbose, -v
	 If enabled, have git lfs track log files which it will touch.	Disabled
	 by default.

     --dry-run, -d
	 If  enabled,  have git lfs track log all actions it would normally take
	 (adding entries to .gitattributes, touching files on disk, etc) without
	 performing any mutative operations to the disk.

	 git lfs track --dry-run [files] also implicitly mocks the  behavior  of
	 passing the --verbose, and will log in greater detail what it is doing.

	 Disabled by default.

     --filename
	 Treat	the arguments as literal filenames, not as patterns. Any special
	 glob characters in the filename will be escaped when writing  the  .gi-
	 tattributes file.

     --lockable, -l
	 Make  the paths 'lockable', meaning they should be locked to edit them,
	 and will be made read-only in the working copy when not locked.

     --not-lockable
	 Remove the lockable flag from the paths so they are no longer read-only
	 unless locked.

     --no-excluded
	   Do not list patterns that are excluded in the output; only list  pat-
	 terns	that  are  tracked.  --no-modify-attrs:  Makes	matched  entries
	 stat-dirty so that Git can re-index files you wish to convert	to  LFS.
	 Does not modify any .gitattributes file(s).

EXAMPLES
     *	 List the patterns that Git LFS is currently tracking:

	 git lfs track

     *	 Configure Git LFS to track GIF files:

	 git lfs track "*.gif"

     *	 Configure  Git  LFS  to  track PSD files and make them read-only unless
	 locked:

	 git lfs track --lockable "*.psd"

     *	 Configure Git LFS to track the file named project [1].psd:

	 git lfs track --filename "project [1].psd"
