# Migrate a Git repository into Git LFS with BFG
WARNING:
The following documentation is deprecated. We recommend using
[`git lfs migrate`](https://github.com/git-lfs/git-lfs/blob/main/docs/man/git-lfs-migrate.1.ronn)
instead of the method documented below.
Using Git LFS can help you to reduce the size of your Git
repository and improve its performance.

feature set as `git filter-branch` does, but focus on specific use cases.
