setup git-lfs on Posit Workbench for a single user

README.md

This script will download git-lfs and install it into a user home directory. It also adjusts the path in .bashrc to look for files in $HOME/.local/bin. This will allow git to find the git-lfs plugin.

After restarting the terminal, git-lfs should be functional and git clone of datasets from huggingface will work as expected.

If you have already cloned the hugging face repo before installing git-lfs, you can run git lfs fetch and it should download the files using git-lfs.
