You can enable or disable Git Large File Storage (LFS) for a repository.
About the Git LFS API
You can use Git LFS to store large files in a Git repository. The Git LFS API allows you to enable or disable the feature for an individual repository. For more information about Git LFS, see "About Git LFS."
People with admin access to a repository can use the Git LFS API.
