There was a problem hiding this comment.
A couple questions:
Do you know what kind of impact this will have on folks cloning Ignite to contribute? Will cloning take longer?
Can we add something to the README / docs about how users can install and run these builds?

Based on discussion in Slack, I think we're going to try and just upload these artifacts as releases directly, and keep them out of source control. Will either close this PR or convert it to docs only sometime soon. |

We ended up doing this with the GitHub CLI, closing PR for now and will submit a separate PR with docs and a download script for users. |

Description
This PR enables Git LFS so we can add development builds to the repository and make it easy for users to get spun up in a way that feels kind of like Expo Go (people can just download the latest development build, install on emulator/simulator, write TypeScript, and see the results). Just a nice convenience.
Adds some development builds created from latest https://github.com/infinitered/ignite-development-builds.
Updates
.github/CONTRIBUTING.mdto mention the git LFS support.
