当一个明显的错误突然出现时，我们的团队是这样做的:

Disable lfs for that specific type file (modifying .gitattributes or via SourceTree menus) The change will dissapear and you will see a change on .gitattributes instead Remove the problem: 3.1 One solution is to execute git reset --hard. Another way, discard changes. Sometimes the file will not come up again. 3.2.1 If the previous solution doesn't work, repeat 1 and 2. Then make sure that this branch you are in (A) has already commited and pushed everything except those annoying files. Then commit your change, but not push. 3.2.2: Go to another branch (B) 3.2.3: Remove that local branch (A) where you performed the commit to .gitattributes, forcing the removal even when it says there's a commit that hasn't been pushed. It will forget that commit (it can afterwards be removed via GC or whatever but it's not a big deal if the file that has the error is not huge) 3.2.4: Checkout the branch A again. It will download the previous status of the repository without the annoying files and LFS settings set up the correct way.

这招总是管用的!

下面的进程将添加一个提交，将所有应该是lfs指针的二进制文件替换为lfs指针。

Clean working copy completely. Together with the force add below this prevents any files getting added or removed due to .gitignore patterns. git clean -dfx git reset --hard git checkout -- . Add remove for everything to staging area. Working copy will not be touched. git rm --cached -r . Readd all files from working copy again. This will basically undo the previous command but will reevaluate lfs filters. Use -f to ignore .gitignore. All files present were previously checked in and should get added again. git add -f . You staging area now should only contain the binary files that previously raised the 'should have been pointers' error. git commit -m "moved files to lfs"

导致此错误的一个可能原因是git lfs对.gitattributes的相关更改影响了repo中已经添加的文件。

(我不确定复制的确切步骤，但问题似乎发生在我接触到一个文件时，该文件最近受到.git属性的影响，该文件以前被提交为非LFS文件，现在应该是LFS文件。切换分支似乎加剧了这个问题，或者至少在问题解决之前不可能切换分支。)

在本例中，我使用下面的步骤来防止此错误重复发生。

通过遵循这里的其他答案之一来修复您所在分支的问题(例如，清除缓存和重置。我发现BheeMa的答案很有效。) 转到你的主分支，确保git状态下没有什么要提交的 强制git重新检查并“重新应用”git属性更改

从Ratata Tata的回答如何改变。gitattributes生效)

 git rm --cached -r .
 git add -A

警告:确保在第2步中没有任何东西要提交，因为上面的步骤将添加以前没有版本的任何文件

Verify the results with git status (it should only have modified relevant files to become LFS pointers, i.e. files that can potentially cause the "encountered files that should have been pointers" error) and commit changes (Optionally, merge/rebase this fix to all other branches if possible. Otherwise, this error could pop up again when switching to those branches. Note that it may be necessary to repeat the initial fix for each branch as per step 1 to be safe, though it could be ok just to commit the affected files.)

自从git lfs 2.5.0以来，有一个新的命令可以让这变得更容易(docs):

git lfs migrate import --no-rewrite "broken file.jpg" "another broken file.png" ...

这将文件“迁移”到git lfs中，根据.gitattributes应该在lfs中，但目前没有(这就是出现错误消息的原因)。

——no-rewrite阻止git将此应用于旧的提交，而是创建一个新的提交。

使用-m "commitmessage"为该提交设置一个提交消息。

上面的命令对我都没用，我在这里找到了答案

git status -s | cut -c 4- | xargs git update-index --assume-unchanged
rm .git/index && git reset

与上面的@John Kugelman一样，但我把它放在一个别名中，因为我必须这么做很多次。

    
git rm --cached -r . > /dev/null && git reset --hard > /dev/null && git rm .gitattributes > /dev/null && git reset . && git checkout . > /dev/null
