NAME

       git-lfs-checkout - Update working copy with file content if available

SYNOPSIS

       git lfs checkout filespec...

DESCRIPTION

       Try  to  ensure  that  the  working copy contains file content for Git LFS objects for the
       current ref, if the  object  data  is  available.  Does  not  download  any  content,  see
       git-lfs-fetch(1) for that.

       Checkout  scans  the  current ref for all LFS objects that would be required, then where a
       file is either missing in the working copy, or contains placeholder pointer  content  with
       the  same  SHA,  the real file content is written, provided we have it in the local store.
       Modified files are never overwritten.

       Filespecs can be provided as arguments to restrict the files which are updated.

EXAMPLES

       •   Checkout all files that are missing or placeholders

           git lfs checkout

       •   Checkout a specific couple of files

           git lfs checkout path/to/file1.png path/to.file2.png
