🧩 Analysis chain
🌐 Web query:
Git LFS filter.lfs.clean filter.lfs.smudge both required installation
💡 Result:
filter.lfs.clean and filter.lfs.smudge are the Git attributes “filters” that Git LFS registers so Git can transparently convert large files to/from LFS pointer files:
- clean: runs when you add/commit → stores content in LFS and writes a pointer into Git.
- smudge: runs when you checkout/clone/pull → replaces the pointer in your working tree with the real LFS content.
If your config (often via git lfs install) includes filter.lfs.required=true, Git treats that filter as mandatory: operations that need the filter will fail if Git LFS isn’t installed or the filters aren’t registered for that user/repo. (support.atlassian.com)
What you must install/do
- Install the Git LFS client (
git-lfs) on the machine. - Run one of:
git lfs install(registers the LFS clean/smudge filters in your global Git config and installs the pre-push hook), orgit lfs install --local(registers filters for just that repo). (manpages.debian.org)
Notes
- If smudging is intentionally disabled (e.g.,
git lfs install --skip-smudge), files won’t be downloaded on checkout; you must rungit lfs pullto fetch LFS content. (support.atlassian.com)

Treat partial LFS filter config as missing.
Git LFS requires both filter.lfs.clean and filter.lfs.smudge to be registered for proper operation—clean stores content in LFS during commit, and smudge replaces pointer files with actual content during checkout. If only one is missing, LFS is broken. Line 70 currently uses &&, which skips remediation unless both filters are absent. Change to || so either missing filter triggers git lfs install --local.
🧩 Proposed fix
- if [ -z "$lfs_clean" ] && [ -z "$lfs_smudge" ]; then
+ if [ -z "$lfs_clean" ] || [ -z "$lfs_smudge" ]; then
had_lfs_filters=false
git lfs install --local &> /dev/null || true
