Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/RayLabsHQ/gitea-mirror/issues/74

Currently all repositories mirror without LFS data by default.
If you want to mirror LFS data, you have to manually activate it post migration and do a sync job.

This is quite dangerous, as many users might backup their repositories only to find out later that they are missing the LFS pointers.

No worries! At least it is visible for now. I might try to look into it tomorrow.

Any tips or advice for starting out considering I am not familiar with the code base?

There is readme and the docs also a contribution markdown file. that should be a good start.

@ArmainAP I have added it by adding the lfs flag to the api call when creating the mirror on gitea as provided on thier docs. But i have not had the time to test it.

you need to have LFS turned on (LFS_START_SERVER = true in Gitea config) feel free to test it out v3.3.0
