Your files are now stored on Skynet. To continue working with your files locally, use git lfs
!
git checkout branch
git lfs fetch
git lfs checkout
Your images are downloaded from Skynet, and the pointer files are updated locally.
Why? Because git lfs doesn't use it to prevent commit. If a server responds 200 to an upload, git lfs is hitting verification for the benefit of the server. When this changes, verification will be enabled.
