      • Both git/lfs and dvc replace large files with an index and fetch on demand. What does DVC add?

      • DVC can use ordinary remotes — NAS, SSH, S3, GCS, Azure — instead of a dedicated LFS server.

      • Different tools. git-lfs is transparent to git and needs a custom server; DVC gitignores the large files, adds .dvc sidecars, and also runs Makefile-style pipelines for generated data and models.
