     1  # Git LFS API
     2  
     3  The Git LFS client uses an HTTPS server to coordinate fetching and storing
     4  large binary objects separately from a Git server. The basic process the client
     5  goes through looks like this:
     6  
     7  1. [Discover the LFS Server to use](./server-discovery.md).
     8  2. [Apply Authentication](./authentication.md).
     9  3. Make the request. See the Batch and File Locking API sections.

    11  ## Batch API
    12  
    13  The Batch API is used to request the ability to transfer LFS objects with the
    14  LFS server.
