`git-lfs` not actually running `git lfs install`

[andreilgeorgescu]

The git-lfs feature successfully downloads onto my codespace, however it is not actually running git lfs install as is expected. This also makes the autoPull option non-functioning.

I've tried many permutations but here is an example of my image/feature combination.

{
  "image": "mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/base:2-ubuntu-24.04",
  "features": {
    "ghcr.io/devcontainers/features/git-lfs:1": {
      "autoPull": false // Doesn't change anything even if I make it `true` because `git-lfs` isn't installed
    }
  }
}

Running git lfs pull manually in the terminal results in the following:

@andreilgeorgescu ➜ /workspaces/base (main) $ git lfs pull
Skipping object checkout, Git LFS is not installed for this repository.
Consider installing it with 'git lfs install'.

The workaround I have found is to add the following commands to my codespace:

  "onCreateCommand": "git lfs install",
  "postCreateCommand": "git lfs pull",

However, it would be much better if the extension could handle this itself.
