All the files that I have under Git LFS show up as changes

Yeah, it's a good point. We implemented partial support for detecting large files and writing out the LFS format, but we're not reading the setup properly and you can't push to stuff. I can't imagine that GB will work for a repo that needs LFS right now. Sorry about that. It's on our list.

Thanks. I might add, This repo is not large at all, barely 150 MB in size. We are just following the best practice to keep binary files out of Git and into Git LFS

Are there any known workarounds for this (in combination with large repos) or is it just recommended to wait?

GitButler seems like a very exciting tool, however due to a lot of my work being done in Unity (which necessitates the use of git-lfs) this makes GitButler something I'm unable to use currently.

Unity is also an environment where the use-case for GitButler could be extremely beneficial as it's very easy to make widespread changes, or be working on multiple things at the same time. Would love to see this!

What's the status of this issue? I'm working on a project now that uses LFS and I'm not sure if GitButler is picking things up. Technically, once the files are in .gitattributes there shouldn't be any new CLI commands needed so shouldn't GitButler just work normally?
