You can enforce +[general user and IP rate limits](user_and_ip_rate_limits.md), but you can also +override the general setting to enforce additional limits on Git LFS requests. This +override can improve the security and durability of your web application. Aside from +precedence, this configuration provides the same features as the general user and IP +rate limits. + +## Configure Git LFS rate limits + +Git LFS rate limits are disabled by default.
