Git clone reports four files that should be Git LFS pointers

Author: pgerbinoCreated Sep 5, 2026Updated Sep 5, 2026

Cloning the repository with Git LFS installed produces:

Encountered 4 files that should have been pointers, but weren't:

timesfm-forecasting/examples/anomaly-detection/output/anomaly_detection.png timesfm-forecasting/examples/covariates-forecasting/output/covariates_data.png timesfm-forecasting/examples/global-temperature/output/forecast_animation.gif timesfm-forecasting/examples/global-temperature/output/forecast_visualization.png

The repository's .gitattributes specifies that PNG and GIF files under timesfm-forecasting/ should be managed through Git LFS:

timesfm-forecasting//*.png filter=lfs diff=lfs merge=lfs -text timesfm-forecasting//*.gif filter=lfs diff=lfs merge=lfs -text

The clone completes successfully, so this appears to be a repository/LFS consistency issue rather than a functional TimesFM problem.

It looks as though these four generated output files may have been committed as regular Git blobs rather than LFS pointer objects.

Re-adding the affected files through Git LFS should remove the warning for future checkouts.
