Install GIT LFS in BAS - Permission denied

[WouterLemaire]

Hi all,

I'm trying to install GIT LFS in Business Application Studio but it doesn't seem to work out because I do not have SUDO access.

I tried to download GIT LFS from Package Cloud and run the bash script as followed:

curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/github/git-lfs/script.deb.sh | bash

But I'm receiving "Permission denied":

Any idea or workaround to make GIT LFS work in BAS?

Thank you in advance!

Kr, Wouter

Hi,

Unfortunately BAS does not provide administrative privliges, thus you cannot install it.

There is no workaround I can think of to install it.

Best regards,

Can GIT LFS be a default package?

Similar problem we are facing.

What does SAP recommend about handling of large CSV files?

Problem is we have a very big CSV file that needs to move along the gitflow and also pass the CI/CD.
Different developers should be able to make changes to this file (adding columns for features they work on).

We could use VS code for this and install LFS.
But we also have an external team that needs to use BAS studio and has no other option.

Can you provide some estimation on the size of average file, number of large files and size of such repo?

This will help us estimate if our filesystem can support that.

Best regards,

Ido.

Hi Ido,

Thanks for checking.

Currently we have 2 of these exceptionally big files.
They are (234MB & 322MB).

No real work arround for us.

Kind regards,

Hi Ido Perez,

We seem to have also problems with CSV files bigger then 50MB in the BAS studio.
Bas studio will crash when we try to edit these files. This is not happening on Visual studio Code.

Any updates on this?

Kind regards,

This is a different issue, as the Theia text editor does not handle the large file very well. I hope we will have solution for this very soon, when we will switch the client.

Hi Ido,

Thanks for the input. Looking forward on BAS improvement for handeling the bigger CSV files in edit mode.

Any new thoughts on the original topic of this blog?

Project is still growing and data becomes bigger each time we onboard a new country.
