I have an error during the LFS pull with Gitkraken on macOS. I get the following error message:
Error on LFS Pull git: 'lfs' is not a git command. See 'git --help'. The most similar command is log
In the Gitkraken documentation (here) we find the following explanation:
Note: If GitKraken still cannot find Git or Git LFS, the terminal or CMD may be using a different path than the system or user path. For example, on OSX applications launched from the GUI have a different path than those launched from the terminal.
To check this, we can do the following command: which git-lfs and which git
Indeed, I get the following result:
which git /usr/bin/git \
which git-lfs /opt/homebrew/bin/git-lfs
Then, the documentation says that you have to add an environment variable in the path, the example is given for windows, but I can't reproduce the equivalent for macOS
In my .zshrc I have this: export PATH=$HOME/bin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH
I tried it with: export PATH=$HOME/bin:/usr/local/bin:/opt/homebrew/bin/git-lfs:$PATH but it doesn't work
It's possible that the error is absolutely obvious but I don't know much about environment variables etc.
I finally found a solution to my problem.
There was no PATH problem so I left the original line in .zshrc
export PATH=$HOME/bin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH
You have to go to the project with a terminal and do the following command
git lfs install
the answer will be
Updated git hooks.
Git LFS initialized.
Then do CMD + R in Gitkraken. Now the LFS icon will be visible and the pull will work
