I have a repository on an old githost instance and i'm trying to migrate it over to gitlab.com. I'm using their instructions for migrating, but because this repository uses LFS, i am getting some errors that i cannot figure out how to resolve. Here are the commands I'm running
cd repo
git remote rename origin old-origin
git remote add origin [email protected]:group/repo.git
git push -u origin --all
git push -u origin --tags
And here is a sample of the response i get from git on the first push command:
remote: GitLab: LFS objects are missing. Ensure LFS is properly set up or try a manual "git lfs push --all".
To https://gitlab.com/group/repo.git
! [remote rejected] master -> master (pre-receive hook declined)
error: failed to push some refs to 'https://gitlab.com/group/repo.git'
I have tried the suggested command (git lfs push --all) and that command is not valid. I have also tried git lfs push origin master and that results in:
Uploading LFS objects: 100% (29/29), 2.4 GB | 0 B/s, done
I cannot find anything on the Gitlab docs, so i'm asking for this community's help. Thanks!
Edit: I have also tried using https instead of SSH repo origin and that results in no difference.

Not all code hosting services support LFS already. As a GitLab user, however, there's not much to worry about: if you're using GitLab.com or a halfway recent version of GitLab CE or EE, support for LFS is already baked in! Your administrator only need to enable the LFS option.
In order to use Git LFS, you'll need to download and install a new program that's separate from Git. Navigate to git-lfs.github.com and click Download. Alternatively, you can install Git LFS using a package manager: To use Homebrew, run brew install git-lfs .
I just attempted to do what you're trying to do.
Did the following:
git clone [email protected]:g19fanatic/test_lfs.git cd test_lfs git lfs track *.bin yes "123456678" | head -c 1024000 > test.bin git add .git push origin master
git remote add gitlab [email protected]:pauldibiase/lfs-test.gitgit lfs push --all gitlab
Locking support detected on remote "gitlab". Consider enabling it with: $ git config lfs.https://gitlab.com/pauldibiase/lfs-test.git/info/lfs.locksverify true git config lfs.https://gitlab.com/pauldibiase/lfs-test.git/info/lfs.locksverify true git lfs push --all gitlab
git push gitlab master

- [new branch] master -> master
Using git --version = git version 1.8.3.1
Using git lfs --version = git-lfs/2.6.1 (GitHub; linux amd64; go 1.11.2; git dc072c3e)
Try to push your actual branch to your new gitlab remote.
