Hey,
Git LFS, powerful, yet not free. CI can generate a lot of bandwidth pulling the same files (e.g. binary frameworks) over and over again.
I am looking for a simple solution, how to:
**Clone repository, but retrieve LFS objects from cache if possible. If LFS object(s) is missing or outdated pull it and put it in the cache, to improve next run.**
I found similar topics: [one](https://discuss.bitrise.io/t/how-to-cache-the-source-code-directory/1533/4), [two](https://discuss.bitrise.io/t/git-lfs-caching-is-it-possible/3570), but they don’t contain a “copy-n-paste” answer or are still not fully answered. I am trying to understand how exactly cache-pull/push and clone steps are configured.
I think the use-case is so “normal” that it would be awesome if it was a default behaviour (optionally configurable).
Cheers!

I’ve managed to do something like this, but I believe it’s just too much…
```auto
my_workflow:
description: Whatever
steps:
- script@1:
inputs:
- content: git lfs uninstall
title: Uninstall LFS
- git-clone@6.1: {}
- cache-pull:
inputs:
- is_debug_mode: 'true'
- script@1:
inputs:
- content: |-
git lfs install
git lfs pull
title: Install LFS and Pull
- cache-push@2:
inputs:
- compress_archive: 'true'
- cache_paths: |-
.git/lfs
```
