Use Git LFS for storing H5 and VTK files

Description

I need to change the reference VTK files (again), and we might change the H5 parameter field files in the future. To avoid bloating up local repositories, we could store these binary files with Git LFS. However, this requires git-lfs to be installed on client systems for simply cloning DORiE.

Another option would be to create a separate repository just for the testing files, as done in KnoFu. However, I would like files to remain within a single repository.

Proposal

  • Enable Git LFS for this repository
  • Make git-lfs a requirement for DORiE (!)
  • Track .h5 and .vtu files with LFS

Related issues

We might postpone the new reference tests in #46 (closed) until this is decided

Comments or thoughts appreciated

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
