NoClassDefFoundError while Migrating existing repository data to LFS [Using git-lfs-migrate]

[samsonpaul87]

Hi,
I have completed following steps (https://github.com/git-lfs/git-lfs/wiki/Tutorial#migrating-existing-repository-data-to-lfs) to migrate existing repository data to LFS, mentioned here.

• Install Java 1.8 or later
• Download the latest binaries from here
• Do a mirror clone of the repository to rewrite: git clone --mirror git@github.com:bozaro/git-lfs-migrate.git

I ended up with NoClassDefFoundError while trying to run the following step

• Rewrite e.g. all *.mp4 video files in the repository:

Following is my full stack. Please note that, I have changed the .git file name and project name, due to security issues.

Hi @samsonpaul87, thanks for opening this and sorry that you're having trouble.

This error is actually coming from git-lfs-migrate, which we do not provide support for here. My recommendation would be that you re-open this issue in https://github.com/bozaro/git-lfs-migrate, instead.
