Currently git-lfs (v2.0.x)  supports HTTP/HTTPS access only. SOCK5 proxy is on the v2.1 roadmap.

https://github.com/git-lfs/git-lfs/milestone/7

A possible solution is to setup a SOCK5 tunnel to lxplus via ssh, and convert SOCKS to HTTP using polipo on the daq machine.

An excitable can be found at pddaq-gen03:/daq/rce.

Notes

• modify USER to your lxplus username
• if you login to the daq machine as pdusernp04daq, you still have to use your own lxplus username in the ssh config.
• for password-less operations, you can create a kerberos ticket by "kinit USER@CERN.CH" (replace USER to your lxplus username).
