Do not start a new project with your own account as there is a limit to where they will charge for further usage (for a 3-D video game project this is suprisingly quick). We do get free LFS support if you launch the project through our GitHub Classroom. It has its own implementation of lots of tool support and documentation. GitHub uses Git at its core and is effectively the same as GitLab. Our implementation is set to go with LFS. But, we do have to maintain it ourselves and there may be fewer gui tools to use with it (I have had varying success using GitHub Desktop in the past). We can also control size limits for files that we cannot control with GitHub. The advantage of GitLab is that we can configure the repository in any way we like. GitLab is hosted on LSU servers and uses Git at its core. Students have access to using GitHub or with GitLab.
