I am trying to clone a git repository using command:

git clonerepo test_simrkaur

But getting this error:

[simrkaur@bhlinb40 Repos]$ git clonerepo test_simrkaur
Cloning into 'test_simrkaur'...

warning: Clone succeeded, but checkout failed.
You can inspect what was checked out with 'git status'
and retry the checkout with 'git checkout -f HEAD'

I tried running command 'git checkout -f HEAD' but still getting the error:

[simrkaur@bhlinb40 test_simrkaur]$ git checkout -f HEAD
git-lfs smudge -- 'testlfs.txt': git-lfs: command not found
error: external filter git-lfs smudge -- %f failed -1
error: external filter git-lfs smudge -- %f failed
fatal: testlfs.txt: smudge filter lfs failed

I think, I have to install git lfs. But dont know how can I install it using ssh commands.

Please help!

ssh shell linux git

On linux system, you can install it like this

sudo apt-get install git-lfs

If you are using Windows, then follow this: https://git-lfs.github.com/

Download and install the Git command line extension. Once downloaded and installed, set up Git LFS for your user account by running:

git lfs install

You only need to run this once per user account.
