… In the Git LFS solution, in order to start work on your code and later to build the container and test your application, you first need to install some git extensions, initialise LFS in the project and then pull the blobs. Every time the blobs changes, it’s the developer’s responsibility to pull the latest version of the blobs manually. It means that the developer is in charge of the resolve process.
