NAME

       git-lfs-dedup - Deduplicate Git LFS files

SYNOPSIS

       git lfs dedup

DESCRIPTION

       Deduplicates  storage  by re-creating working tree files as clones of the files in the Git
       LFS  storage  directory  using  the  operating  system's   copy-on-write   file   creation
       functionality.

       If  the  operating  system  or file system don't support copy-on-write file creation, this
       command exits unsuccessfully.

       This command will also exit without success if any Git LFS extensions are  configured,  as
       these will typically be used to alter the file contents before they are written to the Git
       LFS storage directory, and therefore the working tree files should  not  be  copy-on-write
       clones of the LFS object files.
