# 1) Rename local branch master -> main
git branch -m master main

# 2) Push local main and overwrite remote main
git push -u origin main --force

# 3) (Optional) delete remote master branch
git push origin --delete master


#git lfs install
Sets up Git hooks so LFS works in this repo / user.

bash
Copy code
git lfs track "*.step"
Tells Git: “for all files matching *.step, store them using LFS”.

This writes a .gitattributes file.

Then normal Git workflow:

bash
Copy code
git add .gitattributes
git add model.step
git commit -m "Add model"
git push



#Downloading step models
cd /home/dejan/Dokumenti/Forgeo

curl -L "https://cloud.rozic-dev.com/s/shCCG1ZIsHBaiPX/download" -o model.step


#!/bin/bash
# save as push-step.sh and run in your repo folder
git lfs track "*.step" "*.stp" 2>/dev/null || true
git add .gitattributes *.step *.stp
git commit -m "Update STEP models $(date +%F)"
git push
echo "STEP files pushed with LFS!"



4️⃣ On your PC: set up repo + Git LFS for .step

On your development machine (not the server), do something like:

# One time per machine
git lfs install

# Create a new local repo
mkdir 3d-models
cd 3d-models
git init

# Add Forgejo as remote (adjust user/repo)
git remote add origin https://forgejo.rozic-dev.com/<your_user>/<your_repo>.git
# or use SSH later when we set that up


Now set up LFS for STEP files:

git lfs track "*.step"
git add .gitattributes


Copy one of your 3D models into the folder, e.g. model.step:

cp /path/to/your/model.step ./model.step

git add model.step
git commit -m "Add first STEP model"
git push -u origin main
# if it complains about 'main' not existing, try:
# git push -u origin master


If LFS is working, the .step file in the web UI will look small (Git pointer), and in Repo → Settings → LFS you’ll see actual LFS objects stored.
