brew doctor - the Homebrew/homebrew-core is at stable branch, and doctor complains... Is it OK?

$ brew doctor

I've installed git-lfs via brew install git-lfs and get problems with brew tap command after that.

$ brew tap johanhaleby/kubetail

The problem reproduces with any tap.

And even brew update prints a warning.

What am I doing wrong? :)

What am I doing wrong? :)

You have configured all repositories to use git-lfs. Adjust your configuration accordingly.

@MikeMcQuaid thanks, it worked!

git-lfs is a trap, because it recommends git lfs install, installing all the hooks globally...

[mwf]

If anyone ever finds this useful - just try:

git lfs uninstall
<cd to the repo, which uses lfs>
git lfs install --local
