Kindly let me know whether there is any possibility to know whether a Repository has a LFS(larger) file using git bash command.
I am working on client repository. So, i will not be able to verify it in UI application.

Kindly let me know whether there is any possibility to know whether a Repository has a LFS(larger) file using git bash command, before cloning the repository.

The presence of LFS (Large File Storage) files in a repository can be verified, yes. Search the repository for files ending in.gitattributes. There, LFS-tracked files are listed. To view a list of all locally managed LFS files, use the git lfs ls-files command. Another option is to look at the metadata or repository settings on hosting platforms.

My Requirement is, from a java program, I need to verify whether a repo has LFS files. If it has LFS files, i need to use "git lfs clone" command else use "git clone" command. So that the LFS bandwidth is not exploited for repos having only normal files. Since i need to clone more than 1000 repos, i need this differentiation. Can you kindly let me know how can i read the meta data or repository settings of a repository from java.
