I would say it what you should have mentioned first - if only because this is a 3rd-party extention to Git developed and supported by Github, - as opposed to sparse checkout which is a core feature of Git ;-) > Any suggestions on handling the LFS files using the git sparse-checkout ? I did [1] and found [2].
