Is it possible to diff lfs files in git?

Question

When I look at the diff of an lfs file, I just see the oid and size difference. Is there a way to easily diff the actual file contents?

Answer 1

From this post by bk2204:

Another option if you want to have diffs is to run git config diff.lfs.textconv cat, which will have any files with the diff=lfs attribute automatically rendered through Git to show the LFS file instead of the pointer.
