Migrating to a different Git Large File Storage server
You can migrate to a new Git Large File Storage (Git LFS) server by using the Git LFS client to fetch assets from the existing server and push them to the new location.
Before migrating to a different Git Large File Storage server, you must configure Git LFS to use a third party server. For more information, see "Configuring Git Large File Storage to use a third party server."
