I have a public repo in renku oadat-evaluate with LFS files in it.
For a manuscript, we have another public repo in github OADAT.
I want to add oadat-evaluate gitlab repo as a submodule to OADAT github repo to have everything self-contained in a single repo with demos and such.
I do not have issues creating the git submodule, however, it does complain about LFS files in renku. So I added the submodule after setting skip-smudge as
So far so good.
However, if I try git lfs pull from within the submodule; i.e.:
cd oadat_evaluate
git lfs pull
I basically get the error that none of the LFS objects exist on the server.
To give an example:

If I understand correctly, the parent repo OADAT simply does not have the right configuration for the git config lfs.url, but I was not able to figure this out.
Can someone comment on what might be the problem?
It seems that the LFS object weren’t pushed in the first place. If I only clone oadat-evaluate and do an lfs pull it won’t work and gives the same error:
$ git clone git@github.com:firatozdemir/oadat-evaluate.git
$ cd oadat-evaluate
$ git lfs install --local --skip-smudge
$ git lfs pull

Thanks for looking at it. I’m confused. The LFS are pushed, I can see it on Firat Özdemir / oadat-evaluate · GitLab.
I also tried the link you shared (git lfs push --all) from the original repo I pushed things from, which does not push anything new since all are pushed already. Maybe something else is broken?
I just tried creating a session on renkulab with automatically download LFS on start option and all LFS files are available in my session.
So this issue with LFS only happens if I locally try to clone the repo and lfs pull. I still believe it’s something to do with wrong lfs server configuration, but it’s a territory I don’t know much. Can you advise?
Thanks!
I found the problem with the help of GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=1 GIT_TRANSFER_TRACE=1 GIT_TRACE=1 git lfs pull although it was kinda obvious from the beginning: You are adding the submodule from Github and not gitlab and the objects don’t exist on GH. You should do:
