Track files that match a glob:

git lfs track '{{*.bin}}'

Change the Git LFS endpoint URL (useful if the LFS server is separate from the Git server):

git config {{[-f|--file]}} .lfsconfig lfs.url {{lfs_endpoint_url}}

List tracked patterns:

git lfs track

List tracked files that have been committed:

git lfs ls-files

Push all Git LFS objects to the remote server (useful if errors are encountered):

git lfs push --all {{remote_name}} {{branch_name}}

Fetch all Git LFS objects:

git lfs fetch

Replace pointer files with actual Git LFS objects:
