As a user I'd like to store large files in my working repository, but this requires enabling Large File Support, as it's not the default.

Currently this is a very heavy-weight operation that e.g. on OSX requires installing Developer Tools, then brew, then brew install git-lfs and then issuing the git track command for each repo. Github Desktop supports LFS, but only once it's enabled on the repo see https://docs.github.com/en/desktop/configuring-and-customizing-github-desktop/about-git-large-file-storage-and-github-desktop

However, GitHub API supports enabling it: https://docs.github.com/en/enterprise-cloud@latest/rest/repos/lfs?apiVersion=2022-11-28

So instead I'd like to have a Repository configuration panel in Share somewhere with a checkbox to enable it, and probably with an editable list of extensions for tracking like ".ifc,.step,.stl,.obj".

Maybe this goes in a "Repository" tab in the Open Dialog. Or maybe a /slash command in SearchBar.. ohhh
