 ## Development installation and contributing 
 
-> [!WARNING]
-> 
-> This project uses Git Large File Storage (LFS) to store its test files,
-> however the LFS quota provided by GitHub is frequently exceeded. 
-> This means that anyone cloning the repository with LFS installed will get
-> failures unless they set the `GIT_LFS_SKIP_SMUDGE=1` environment variable when
-> cloning. 
-> The full test data from the last release can always be obtained by
-> downloading the GitHub release archives (tar or zip), at
-> https://codeberg.org/echemdata/galvani/releases/latest
->
-> If you wish to add test files, please ensure they are as small as possible,
-> and take care that your tests work locally without the need for the LFS files.
-> Ideally, you could commit them to your fork when making a PR, and then they
-> can be converted to LFS files as part of the review.
