🎁 A pluggable Git LFS server written in Python. Highly customizable and easy to extend.

Giftless - a Pluggable Git LFS Server

Giftless a Python implementation of a Git LFS Server. It is designed with flexibility in mind, to allow pluggable storage backends, transfer methods and authentication methods.

Giftless supports the basic Git LFS transfer mode with the following storage backends:

• Local storage
• Google Cloud Storage
• Azure Blob Storage with direct-to-cloud or streamed transfers
• Amazon S3 Storage

In addition, Giftless implements a custom transfer mode called multipart-basic, which is designed to take advantage of many vendors' multipart upload capabilities. It requires a specialized Git LFS client to use, and is currently not supported by standard Git LFS.

See the giftless-client project for a compatible Python Git LFS client.

Additional transfer modes and storage backends could easily be added and configured.
