Migrate from old LFS repo to new LFS repo?

Question

There is LFS git repository hosted at Bitbucket server. Now we need to create new LFS repo and move repository there with LFS storage.

How to do this?

---

For example for normal repo we can do:

git remote add new NEW_REMOTE_REPO_URL 
git push —-all NEW_REPO_URL

Will LFS storage be created with all history for new repo?

Answer 1

git remote add new NEW_REMOTE_REPO_URL 
git push —-all NEW_REPO_URL

Basically yes this will do what you want, but it would fail if you don't have all lfs data cached locally. To get it you should run before your commands:

git lfs fetch --all

PS: you could also run git lfs push --all new to only push lfs data, but git push will push them also, if the pre-push hook is set up

Answer 2

You can modify the lfs endpoint in your local repo by doing something like: git config lfs.url = "https://my_other_server.example.com/foo/bar/info/lfs"

If you need it to stick in the repository, they recommend: git config -f .lfsconfig lfs.url https://my_other_server.example.com/foo/bar/info/lfs git add .lfsconfig
