Dear all,

this email is of interest for OGS-6 developers only. Please ignore it otherwise.

We recently switched to git-lfs for storing (large or binary) test data files (benchmark and reference files). It requires some work on your end to migrate existing feature branches. See this PR for a description:

[Git LFS for Tests/Data #1982](https://github.com/ufz/ogs/pull/1982)

Previously these files were stored on GitHub but we encountered a download limit very fast and moved these files to our own GitLab server. See this PR:

[Switch to GitLab for lfs #1984](https://github.com/ufz/ogs/pull/1984)

Downloading (cloning / pulling) the new files should work out of box. If you want to push new files you need access to a ogs-repo on the GitLab server. See [the documentation](https://docs.opengeosys.org/docs/devguide/advanced/gitlab) on how to login (please send me an email once done so I can unblock your account and give you access to the [ogs group](https://gitlab.opengeosys.org/ogs)).

@ Karsten, Tom, Wenqing, Christoph and Dima: you already have accounts.

If you have problems please let me know.

Best,

Lars
