Git pull – smudge filter lfs failed

In my case the SSH-authenticated repository was updated to use LFS from another client and on my side Git-LFS didn’t know about the SSH remote-url. What I did to fix it was the following:

Copy the URL configured in remote.origin.url (push URL for origin) to lfs.url (the URL LFS uses):

$ git config lfs.url $(git config remote.origin.url)

(If your remote is not named origin then change to your remote name.)

Then run

$ git config lfs.url

to show the URL and confirm that it does indeed contain an SSH url, and not some HTTP/HTTPS url.

Then you can

$ git pull

Done.


If you screwed up before and main and origin/main have somehow diverged as was the case for me then you might need to git checkout -fB main origin/main (this doesn’t ask and overwrites the local version of the main branch, so beware and execute carefully!).
