git-artifacts: git-lfs supported?

[abuob]

Currently following the docs for hardwired artifacts for git-checkout: https://argo-workflows.readthedocs.io/en/latest/walk-through/hardwired-artifacts/

Works like a charm - however, the repository that I'd like to checkout also uses git-lfs. The checked out artifact however doesn't contain the lfs-tracked files, only the pointers.

Is there an easy way to enable git-lfs somehow that I missed?

Many thanks in advance!

In case others stumble on this question:

Turned out it's not supported. If I've groked the code correctly (not familiar with Go), argo-workflows is using go-git to checkout the repository: https://github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/blob/main/workflow/artifacts/git/git.go#L10

And go-git does not support git-lfs currently: go-git/go-git#381

However, it turned out to be relatively straight-forward to do this manually. We need an initial step which does the git-lfs-fetch & git-lfs-checkout, and can then make the lfs-objects available for the remaining steps of the workflow similar to the git-artifact: Everything that git-lfs fetches is stored in the .git/lfs/-folder, so we can fetch it in one step, make that folder available as an artifact, and then add it in subsequent steps directly again into that folder. Invoking git-lfs checkout will then make sure that the lfs-pointer-files are replaced with the actual files.
