⁠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.
