lfs-pointer-check

lfs-pointer-check

A program to check whether all the files that are supposed to be tracked by git-lfs have valid git-lfs pointers.

This program might be effective in collaborative software development, where some people might forget to run git lfs install.

It also checks if all the large files in the HEAD are tracked by git-lfs when the --size-limit option is given.
