I'm getting an Authorization error and a 'smudge filter' error when I git pull from my publicly-visible repo. The error occurs when downloading a file that is pointed to by git lfs. My repo looks like this:
folder
folder
.gitattributes
python file
big_binary_file.h5
The error I get looks like this:
Downloading big_binary_file.h5 (262 MB)
Error downloading object: big_binary_file.h5: Smudge error: Error downloading big_binary_file.h5:
batch response: Authorization error: https://github.com/user/repo.git/objects/batch

Use `git lfs logs last` to view the log.
error: external filter 'git-lfs filter-process' failed
fatal: big_binary_file.h5: smudge filter lfs failed
I don't believe I have any authorization issues because the other files from my repo pull seamlessly. My repo is public and a git lfs file shouldn't have any special authorization needed, right?
My .gitattrbutes correctly identifies that '.h5' files should be fetched using LFS. It looks like this:
*.h5 filter=lfs diff=lfs merge=lfs -text
Has anyone gotten a similar error when they git pull and can they shine light on where I went wrong or what might be the cause of this?
Here are things I've tried (and you might try to if you run into this page looking for advice:)
- I've tried following the advice in the answer to this question
My lfs.url is the same as remote.origin.url
- I've looked at my
git credentialsto make sure they are set correctly. - I've verified that my repo is publicly visible and that my
.gitattributesis setup correctly. - I've made sure
git lfsis setup on my system and have used it to push to the same repo. - I've tried diagnosing
git lfs logs last. - I tried using
git resetand then pulling.
