# git-lfs-standalone-file(1)

## NAME

git-lfs-standalone-file - Standalone transfer adapter for file URLs

## SYNOPSIS

`git lfs standalone-file`

## DESCRIPTION

Provides a standalone transfer adapter for file URLs (local paths).

By default, Git LFS requires the support of an HTTP server to implement the Git LFS protocol. However, this tool allows the use of URLs starting with `file:///` (that is, those representing local paths) in addition. Configuration is not necessary; Git LFS handles this internally.

When invoked, this tool speaks JSON on input and output as a standalone transfer adapter. It is not intended for use by end users.

## SEE ALSO
