GIT_LFS_SKIP_SMUDGE=1 required when installing using UV #3
Description
Was installing using uv
uv add git+https://github.com/Kitware/batbot
Was getting some errors from git lfs and the examples not being properly configured.
Pulling go and running git lfs pull worked properly but UV was resulting in errors that required be setting GIT_LFS_SKIP_SMUDGE=1 before adding the repository.
(base) bryon.lewis@bryonmacpro scripts % uv add --script batbot_spectrogram.py git+https://github.com/Kitware/batbot
