Please advise. The `filter.lfs` configuration is set by Git LFS [1] in order to correctly filter large files into your working copy.

On macOS, you can use Homebrew [2] to install any version of Git. Install the latest via: brew update && brew install git Thanks, Taylor [1]: https://git-lfs.github.com [2]: https://brew.sh
