Use Git LFS for large PDFs about meetups HOT 9 CLOSED

Yes, this sounds like a good idea.

I verified and it's working. If you give green light after checking my repo, I'll then go ahead and force-push the master branch of this repo.

Looks good to me @luxas. It's only *.pdf, right? Maybe we should consider adding video files as well. We currently have an mp4 file in the aarhus group.

Does anybody have experience migrating an existing repo? After reading a little bit about it, It seems that you have to delete and re-add all the files after git lfs is configured.

I have experience with that in Gitlab. It's scary; because it's rewriting every commit and requires a git push -f but hence I think we should try to do it sooner rather than later.

I have done it in bitbucket and it is the same experience as @luxas describes with gitlab.
Sooner than later is recommended!

Here's my tree that is using LFS: https://github.com/luxas/meetups/tree/test_lfs
It would require a force-push to the master branch. How can one verify that this is using LFS now?

This is now done, see e.g. https://github.com/cloud-native-nordics/meetups/blob/master/aarhus/2017/cloud-native-aarhus-1/lunar-way-cloud-native-aarhus-may-2017.pdf or https://github.com/cloud-native-nordics/meetups/blob/master/.gitattributes
I also added *.mp4 to the list. From now on I'm gonna add branch protection to the master branch so folks can't force push it like I now did 😄

Sounds like a good idea 👍
