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
       written to .gitattributes. If no	paths are provided, simply list	the
       currently-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 patterns which contain asterisk (*), question
       mark (?), and the bracket characters ([ and ]) are treated specially;
       to disable this behavior	and treat them literally instead, use
       --filename or escape the	character with a backslash.

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 .gitattributes 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
	   patterns 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"
