First time with 'Git LFS' (Git for Large Files)

Notice how our "git push" fails due to the presence of a file larger than 100MB:

(base) \gh\vid3>git push

Logon failed, use ctrl+c to cancel basic credential prompt.

Everything up-to-date

To overcome this, we install: git-lfs-windows-v2.13.2.exe
And run the following commands:

(base) \gh\vid3>git lfs install

Updated git hooks.
Git LFS initialized.

(base) \gh\vid3>git lfs track "*.*"

Tracking "*.*"
Pattern *.* matches forbidden file .gitignore. If you would like to track .gitignore, modify .gitattributes manually.

(base) \gh\vid3> git lfs track "*.mp4"

Tracking "*.mp4"

(base) \gh\vid3>git add .gitattributes

Note: if we do not do "add & commit" again before "push" again, it results in error:

(base) \gh\vid3>git push

After we rename files, add and commit them:

(base) \gh\vid3>git status

On branch main
Your branch is ahead of 'origin/main' by 1 commit.
    (use "git push" to publish your local commits)

Changes to be committed:
    (use "git restore --staged <file>..." to unstage)
        new file:   .gitattributes

Changes not staged for commit:
    (use "git add/rm <file>..." to update what will be committed)
    (use "git restore <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
        deleted:    20210420 174746.mp4
        deleted:    20210420_174746.mp4

Untracked files:
    (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
        20210420 174746 (27 MB).mp4
        20210420 174746 (521 MB).mp4

If you have low network speed, your "git push" might fail like this:

(base) \gh\vid3>git push

LFS: Client error: https://github-cloud.s3.amazonaws.com/alambic/media/3...2/0f/65/0...f?actor_id=8...7&key_id=0&repo_id=3...1
error: failed to push some refs to 'https://github.com/ashishjainblogger/vid3.git'


(base) \gh\vid3>git push

Uploading LFS objects:  67% (2/3), 98 MB | 105 KB/s
Exiting because of "interrupt" signal.

Additional Note:
My Airtel 4G VoLTE Mobile Hotspot (May 2021) was giving an upload speed of roughly 100 to 200 KB/s.

If everything about the Git-LFS goes right

(base) C:\Users\Ashish Jain\OneDrive\Desktop\gh\vid3>git push
Uploading LFS objects:  67% (2/3), 91 MB | 107 KB/s
