title: How can I tell if a file will be uploaded to git lfs correctly?
body: <p>I'm trying to add everything under <code>MyProject/Frameworks/</code> to <a href="https://git-lfs.github.com" rel="noreferrer">git-lfs</a> (large file storage). I'm <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35769330/git-lfs-track-folder-recursively#comment95711641_35769868">not sure</a> what the proper format for matching all files and folders recursively under the <code>Frameworks</code> folder is. <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/35769868/35690">This answer</a> says the proper format is <code>git lfs track "MyProject/Frameworks/**"</code>, but <a href="https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/git-lfs#tracking-files" rel="noreferrer">Atlassian's help document</a> says I should use <code>git lfs track "MyProject/Frameworks/"</code>. I tried both and they didn't use <code>git lfs</code> for storage. It tried uploading files directly.</p>
  
  <p>Sure, I'd love to know the proper format, but more importantly, before I attempt to push my changes to github, I'd like to verify that the match and files do indeed work correctly. This'll allow me to iterate and try new things.</p>
  
  <p>I see two related commands that might help: <a href="https://github.com/git-lfs/git-lfs/blob/master/docs/man/git-lfs-status.1.ronn" rel="noreferrer"><code>git lfs status</code></a> and <a href="https://github.com/git-lfs/git-lfs/blob/master/docs/man/git-lfs-ls-files.1.ronn" rel="noreferrer"><code>git lfs ls-files</code></a>. It's not clear which one I should be using and what output I should be looking for. For example, when I ran <code>git lfs status</code>, it showed me a ton of files under <code>Git LFS objects to be committed</code>, making me think they would be added to Git LFS. However, after attempting to push to GitHub.com, I realized that it was clearly not the case. If it helps, the output for these files always had something like <code>(Git: edee1ad)</code> after each file name.</p>
  
  <p>When I attempt to use <code>git lfs ls-files</code> I'm not sure if I need to run it after <code>git add</code>ing the files, after committing them, or after pushing them. Most of the time it's just showing me blank output.</p>
  
  <p>Essentially the question is: <strong>If I configured <code>git lfs</code> correctly, what tool (e.g. <code>git lfs status</code>) should I use, and what output should I look for <em>before</em> I attempt to commit/push?</strong></p>
  
  <p><strong>Note:</strong> Please don't answer the question with <em>only</em> how to match all recursive files as that will help me once (this specific case), rather than allowing me to iterate and try new things (any case).</p>
