# Git LFS Settings

This tab manages your .gitattributes file. This file's main job is to tell Git LFS (Large File Storage) which files to track.\
Instead of storing huge files (like textures and models) directly in your Git history, LFS stores a tiny "pointer" file. This keeps your repository small and fast.

{% endhint %}

These toggles let you easily add common large file types to LFS.

* Textures: Tracks common image files like .png, .jpg, .psd, and .tga.
* Models: Tracks 3D model files like .fbx, .blend, and .obj.
* Audio: Tracks large audio files like .wav, .mp3, and .ogg.
* Video: Tracks video files like .mp4 and .mov.
* Unity Data: Tracks Unity-specific assets like scene files (.unity), prefabs (.prefab), and other assets (.asset).
