Implementation Reference

• src/handlers/other-operations.js:391-476 (handler)

  Core implementation of the git_lfs_fetch tool. Executes 'git lfs fetch' in the repository directory with optional --dry-run and --pointers flags using execPromise. Handles output parsing, errors, and special case for missing Git LFS installation.
  export async function handleGitLFSFetch({ repo_path, dry_run = false, pointers = false, }) { try { // Build the command let command = `cd "${repo_path}" && git lfs fetch`; if (dry_run) { command += " --dry-run"; } if (pointers) { command += " --pointers"; } // Execute the command const { stdout, stderr } = await execPromise(command); // Parse the output const output = stdout.trim(); const errors = stderr.trim(); if (errors && !output) { return { content: [ { type: "text", text: JSON.stringify({ error: errors }, null, 2), }, ], isError: true, }; } return { content: [ { type: "text", text: JSON.stringify( { success: true, message: "Git LFS fetch completed", output: output, dry_run: dry_run, }, null, 2 ), }, ], }; } catch (error) { // Special handling for "git lfs not installed" error if (error.message.includes("git: lfs is not a git command")) { return { content: [ { type: "text", text: JSON.stringify( { error: "Git LFS is not installed on the system" }, null, 2 ), }, ], isError: true, }; } return { content: [ { type: "text", text: JSON.stringify( { error: `Failed to fetch LFS objects: ${error.message}` }, null, 2 ), }, ], isError: true, }; } }
• src/server.js:800-823 (schema)

  Tool schema definition including name, description, and inputSchema with properties repo_path (required), dry_run, and pointers.
  { name: "git_lfs_fetch", description: "Fetch LFS objects from the remote repository.", inputSchema: { type: "object", properties: { repo_path: { type: "string", description: "The path to the local Git repository", }, dry_run: { type: "boolean", description: "Whether to perform a dry run", default: false, }, pointers: { type: "boolean", description: "Whether to convert pointers to objects", default: false, }, }, required: ["repo_path"], }, },
• src/server.js:925-925 (registration)
