How git lfs clone is difference from git shallow clone

Question

git lfs will only download the latest version of binary files to the local repo. However, git shallow clone downloads the latest version of all the files(source + binary).

If storage is not a concern, we can use git shallow clone over git lfs?

Answer 1

You could.

But since Git lfs 2.2.0 (May 2017), you can also use --shallow-since in your git lfs clone command (issue 2250).

That would combine both.
