Git Large File Storage (Git LFS) is an open-source Git extension that handles versioning for large files. It optimizes git repositories by storing data separately from the repository’s core structure, making it much easier for developers to manage binary assets. However, such an efficiency requires proper security and configuration to function optimally. Utilizing best practices, like access control, encrypted connections, and regular repository maintenance, firmly secures the Git LFS performance.

In recent years, the world of cybersecurity has witnessed a concerning trend: a significant increase in phishing attacks. A new study reveals that these attacks have surged by nearly 40% in the year ending August, 2024.
