 # Twitch Archive
 Inspired by https://github.com/EnterGin/Auto-Stream-Recording-Twitch
 
+## Git LFS
+
+This repository stores large media files (recorded video and some binaries). Use Git LFS to manage large objects.
+
+Quick setup (Windows):
+
+1. Install Git LFS: `git lfs install`
+2. Ensure `.gitattributes` is committed (this repo includes one).
+3. If you already have large files tracked by normal Git, migrate them:
+
+```powershell
+git lfs install
+git lfs track "*.mp4" "*.mkv" "bin/*"
+git add .gitattributes
+git add -A
+git commit -m "Migrate large files to LFS"
+git push origin main
+```
+
+Notes:
+- Git LFS needs server-side support. If using GitHub, enable Git LFS on the remote and ensure you have sufficient bandwidth/storage quota.
+- You can customize tracked patterns in `.gitattributes`.
+
 Python script to check, download live stream, VOD, chat and upload them to any cloud storage supported by rclone.
