Git / Push All Git Lfs Objects

Push All Git Lfs Objects

Pushes all Git LFS objects to a specified remote branch.

Terminal
git lfs push --all <remote_name> <branch_name>

When To Use

Forcing a synchronization of large files to the remote repository after substantial changes or additions.

Pro Tip

Add `--dry-run` to simulate the push process for validation before actual transfer, minimizing risk.
