Failure on git push with LFS #323
Description
Describe the bug
I work with rather big XLSX files, so I moved them to LFS. Now, the action can't push the translation:
...
PUSH TO BRANCH main
[main 7a7edba] chore: Update translations from Crowdin

I suspect, the problem is with --no-verify in git push. It would be great if the action could push the LFS files on its own without me having to push it manually.

Thanks for the detailed report, @GooRoo! You were right:
--no-verifyskips the Git LFS pre-push hook, so the LFS objects never got uploaded. I've fixed it in #324: the action now runsgit lfs pushbefore pushing the branch.Could you try it before we release? In your workflow, point the action at the fix branch:
Keep
lfs: trueon the checkout step as you have it now. Please let me know whether the push works.GooRoo commentedon Nov 2, 2026
Hi @andrii-bodnar, I've just tested your fix, and it works like a charm! Thank you.
