Git LFS is a git extension that lets you check in "pointers" to large files and upload the files themselves to a separate LFS store (for us, that's GitHub's LFS server). it's powered by git hooks that make it seem as though the large files are actually in the repository when you're working with it locally
using it for large sample reports will let us write benchmarks or integration tests against large, real-world data without bloating the repository
if we want to use LFS files in CI jobs, we will need to tell the checkout step to check out LFS files too somehow
