**Track the [`.understand-anything/knowledge-graph.json`](https://github.com/Egonex-AI/Understand-Anything/blob/main/.understand-anything/knowledge-graph.json) file with Git LFS to version control the Egonex AI knowledge graph without bloating your repository, enabling teammates to clone and pull the graph automatically.**

The **Egonex AI knowledge graph** generated by the **Understand-Anything** plugin provides a structured representation of your codebase's understanding. Because this graph is stored as a JSON file that can grow to several megabytes, committing it directly to Git would inflate the repository size and slow down operations. The `Egonex-AI/Understand-Anything` repository is designed to work with **Git Large File Storage (LFS)**, which stores heavy assets outside regular Git objects while keeping lightweight pointer files in the repository.

## Why Git LFS Is Required for the Knowledge Graph

The plugin persists the generated graph to [`.understand-anything/knowledge-graph.json`](https://github.com/Egonex-AI/Understand-Anything/blob/main/.understand-anything/knowledge-graph.json), as defined by the `GRAPH_FILE` constant in [`understand-anything-plugin/packages/core/src/persistence/index.ts`](https://github.com/Egonex-AI/Understand-Anything/blob/main/understand-anything-plugin/packages/core/src/persistence/index.ts) [source 1]. As your codebase grows, this JSON file can quickly reach multiple megabytes. Git is optimized for text-based source code, not large binary or JSON payloads. Git LFS replaces large files with text pointers inside Git, while storing the file contents on a remote server, keeping your clone and fetch operations fast.

## Prerequisites

Before sharing the graph, ensure you have:

- Git LFS installed on your local machine
- Access to the repository where the Understand-Anything plugin is configured
- A generated knowledge graph (run `/understand` at least once to create [`.understand-anything/knowledge-graph.json`](https://github.com/Egonex-AI/Understand-Anything/blob/main/.understand-anything/knowledge-graph.json))
