I was cloning a github repository which has a git-lfs file.

When git-lfs client in my system tried to download the file it threw an error.

jeevansai@jeevansai-HP-15-Notebook-PC:~$ git clone Cloning into 'CS628-Assignments'... remote: Counting objects: 21, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (19/19), done. remote: Total 21 (delta 1), reused 21 (delta 1), pack-reused 0 Unpacking objects: 100% (21/21), done.

Where is the problem? Is it on my system or on my Github account or the repository?

All you need to do is download the files from the github repo at github.com. . Click Clone or Download and then Download as ZIP. The only difference with doing it this way, is that you have to unzip it.
