I installed lfs on my bare repo, but now I can't track any files. When I run git lfs track '*.png' I get this error This operation must be run in a work tree. From what I understand this happens because this repo doesn't have a working directory. How am I supposed to choose which files should be tracked? Should I do it in the clone of this repo? This seems problematic as I will have to do it every time I clone it.

Consider cloning the bare repo elsewhere first. – evolutionxbox Jul 10 '18 at 23:27

I don't understand your comment. Clone the repo (don't use `--bare` for the clone), and push to the bare repo when done. The bare repo doesn't need a work tree. – evolutionxbox Jul 11 '18 at 10:44

That's exactly what I do, and then I get this error. – Wojtek Wencel Jul 11 '18 at 10:48
