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.
