This is a photo gallery demo project for Netlify Large Media made with the photos from Unsplash and built with Hugo.

This project has two branches:

• master: A photo gallery that doesn't use Netlify Large Media feature. You can go to README to see how you can deploy this with your Netlify account and start using Large Media feature.

• large-media-sample: A photo gallery that uses Netlify Large Media feature. You can go to a static/images folder to see how large media assets are managed with Git. This branch is deployed as https://netlify-photo-gallery.netlify.com/ demo page.

1. Deploy to Netlify with "Deploy to Netlify" button. This will create a new Netlify site and copy the repo to your GitHub account.

   

2. Clone a newly created repo to your local computer with git clone.

3. Follow the step of Enabling Netlify Large Media to enable Large Media for the newly deployed site.

4. Tweak the LFS settings with the git lfs commands. The following example tracks jpg and png files. Tracking them is required for this photo gallery, so you can start tracking them:

   • To track jpg files: git lfs track *.jpg.
