a pristine-tar replacement that works with Git LFS
Project description
About
pristine-lfs is a tool to replace pristine-tar by the means of using Git LFS to store tarballs. The original pristine-tar tool is a way to store binary tarballs in Git by regenerating them using only a small binary delta file and a checkout of the upstream branch.
Installation
pristine-lfs assumes you have Python 3.6 or later installed as /usr/bin/python3.
pristine-lfs ships with a setup.py installer based on setuptools. To install pristine-lfs, simply type:
./setup.py install
This will install pristine-lfs itself, its manpage and this README file into their proper locations.
