Description

Hi,

I'm sorry if this seems like a common question, but I can't find any current answer to this. I am using libgit2 and would like to use Git LFS. I thought that creating the corresponding hooks would be enough, but that doesn't make it work

So in short:

  1. Is Git LFS supported?
  2. Are there any resources to implement it?

Thank you very much!
