Why doesn't LFS support SSH authentication? It has been requested numerous times and has missed numerous milestones. I'm still not convinced it will hit 8.11. We desperately need LFS support, but we use one time tokens, so LFS Authentication over HTTPS just won't work for us. We are an EE customer and this future is way more useful than a UI redesign! https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/3589

Git-LFS is a github project, you'd be better off asking them. But yeah I share your exp. without SSH and with all its numerous bugs LFS is one of the worst pieces of software i've come across. We switched to using rsync for binaries/ large files etc.

We're planning to do this as soon as possible. I agree that it has taken a long time. We simply did not have the capacity with the people that are able to work on this, to build it earlier.

We now have strengthened the team that works on these issues. I'm seeing whether it's possible to ship this with 8.12 (due Sept 22nd).
