How to skip lfs object when clonging project about grimoirelab-sirmordred

[sduenas]

We don't have any kind of configuration for doing that. I'm not sure what the status of LFS is on git project. According to some articles I've been reading, git lfs clone and git clone are the same thing now. To avoid cloning big files there's something called partial clone. Maybe you can try to modify the code and see if it works. On this GitLab doc and on this GitHub article you can find more info about how to run this.

The piece of code you will have to modify is this one

I can try these by myself if you give me the details about how to clone that repository.

Thanks for your reply @sduenas : - )
The command I want to be executed is ： GIT_LFS_SKIP_SMUDGE=1 git clone SERVER-REPOSITORY
I will give a try to change piece of code to see if it is works：
cmd = [‘GIT_LFS_SKIP_SMUDGE=1’, 'git', 'clone', '--bare', uri, dirpath]

The GIT_LFS_SKIP_SMUDGE env variable should be defined in here: https://github.com/chaoss/grimoirelab-perceval/blob/f7cec4254eac3e10c4c75d54b9d5c4d6d88ccd6e/perceval/backends/core/git.py#L839

Hi,@sduenas
I tried to add the GIT_LFS_SKIP_SMUDGE configuration at env, but from the execution of micro.py, it did not take effect
The following is the file location information I modified:
vim /usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/perceval/backends/core/git.py
env = {
'LANG': 'C',
'GIT_LFS_SKIP_SMUDGE': '1',
'HOME': os.getenv('HOME', '')
}

Below is error output info:
perceval.errors.RepositoryError: git command - Cloning into bare repository '/home/bitergia/.perceval/repositories/https://user:[email protected]/abc/efg-git'...

Hi，@sduenas
I fianlly found the correct configuration place：
1.First docker exec into mordred container
2.Add gitconfig for bitergia (/home/bitergia/.gitconfig)，Below is the configuration：
...skip...
[filter "lfs"]
clean = git-lfs clean -- %f
smudge = git-lfs smudge --skip
process = git-lfs filter-process --skip
checkout =
required = false
[lfs]
fetchexclude = *
