Installing Git LFS is straight forward if you follow this guide: https://git-lfs.github.com/

This youtube video describes in much more depth how Git LFS works:

I suggest that you don’t use Git LFS because it sometimes causes issues on the repository and causes conflicts in git. Git LFS is still not stable and UE4 Projects may not yet support it.

My experience in using LFS was that sometimes we had issues wherein our files get corrupted and some of the .uasset files get conflicts and duplicates without you noticing a thing.

This is only my opinion and was based on my experience with git and git LFS. I’m not sure how will it go with you and your project.

Hope this could help :slight_smile:

Installing Git LFS Step 2 I Dont Get it At All “Select the file types you’d like Git LFS to manage (or directly edit your .gitattributes). You can configure additional file extensions at anytime”

Hi Alson The Only Reason I Am Touching Git is Because Of The Contents Of This Project https://github.com/ I Badly Need This Projects Content But The Thing Is I Just Finished Setting Up Git And Git LFS But It Says That I Need To Rebuild From Source

Oh ok! I took a look at the repository you gave and the only thing you’ll need to do is just to download it and when you’re able to download the repository, just regenerate the files in ue4 :smiley:

Wait Repositary Regenerate Whuh i dont get anything

See the attached file below…

Its Not That I Already Know That Just didnt Know The Reference THIS Is What i am talking about

Oh ok that one…

Here’s how to solve that:

  1. Right click on the .uproject file and hit generate Visual Studio Files (ofcourse you should have Visual Studio 2015 installed already for you to access these things)
  2. After generation is complete, open the .sln of the project. Wait for Visual Studio to finish parsing all through the data and when it’s done press ctrl+shift+b or find the Build Solution in Visual Studio.

After these things try to open the .uproject and that should work just fine

The repository doesn’t have any source code uploaded hahaha. You’ll probably need to contact the one who uploaded the source files for him/her to upload/commit the source code.
