I'm starting on a new project. Their repository contains large files >50MB. To properly clone the repo. I've been told I need to use git-lfs. I installed it, and used git clone, and then git lfs install inside the project folder. Then I used git lfs fetch. It returns an error of:
batch request: git@github.com: Permission denied (publickey).: exit status 255
error: failed to fetch some objects from 'https://github.com/***/***.git/info/lfs'
I already have a working ssh key pair, with the ssh key added to github (which is how i'm able to clone a large portion of the files already). The original git clone fails when it encounters the first file it hits that is greater than 50MB.
I've searched the git lfs issues page, although I have not posted one. My guess is that the git lfs client cannot find the ssh keypair I have in .ssh. By the way this is on a Windows 10 VM. The host machine is Ubuntu.
