+git is being slow as shit, and I didn't even change that much. can I clone this repo locally and set the nas location as my remote?
+
+---
+
+_**Assistant**_
+
+**YES!** That's actually a smart way to optimize your workflow. Here's how to do it:
+
+## Clone Locally, Use NAS as Remote:
+
+**1. Clone to your local drive:**
+```bash
+# Clone to your local C: drive for speed
+git clone R:\Creative\artsy\maya\2025-07-29%20Springtrap_Goopie C:\temp\Springtrap_Goopie
+cd C:\temp\Springtrap_Goopie
+```
+
+**2. Set up remotes:**
+```bash
+# Remove the current origin (NAS)
+git remote remove origin
+
+# Add NAS as a remote (for backup/sync)
+git remote add nas R:\Creative\artsy\maya\2025-07-29%20Springtrap_Goopie
+
+# Add a new origin (could be GitHub, or keep NAS as origin)
+git remote add origin R:\Creative\artsy\maya\2025-07-29%20Springtrap_Goopie
+```
+
+**3. Or just work locally with NAS backup:**
+```bash
+# Work locally, push to NAS when needed
+git remote add nas R:\Creative\artsy\maya\2025-07-29%20Springtrap_Goopie
+git push nas main
+```
+
+## Why This Helps:
+
+**✅ Local Speed:**
+- Git operations on local SSD = much faster
+- No network latency for every command
+
+**✅ NAS as Backup:**
+- Push to NAS when you want to save
+- Keep working locally for speed
+
+**✅ Best of Both Worlds:**
+- Fast local development
+- NAS storage for backup/collaboration
+
+## Alternative - Git LFS on Local:
+```bash
+# Clone with LFS to local drive
+git lfs clone R:\Creative\artsy\maya\2025-07-29%20Springtrap_Goopie C:\temp\Springtrap_Goopie
+```
+
+This way you get the speed of local Git operations while keeping your large files on the NAS. Much better than fighting with slow network Git operations!

+
+The issue is that **Git LFS is trying to download from the network path** but can't access it properly. Here's how to fix it:
+
+## Quick Fix:
+
+**1. Navigate to the cloned directory:**
+```bash
+cd C:\Users\Nathan\Documents\Springtrap_Goopie
+```
+
+**2. Fix the LFS remote:**
+```bash
+# Check current LFS remote
+git lfs env
+
+# Set LFS to use the local NAS path instead of network path
+git lfs remote set-url origin "R:\Creative\artsy\maya\2025-07-29 Springtrap_Goopie"
+```
+
+**3. Pull the LFS files:**
+```bash
+git lfs pull
+```
+
+## Alternative - Clone Without LFS First:
+
+**1. Clone without LFS:**
+```bash
+# Set environment variable to skip LFS during clone
+set GIT_LFS_SKIP_SMUDGE=1
+git clone "\\Hydra\Hydra\Creative\artsy\maya\2025-07-29 Springtrap_Goopie" C:\Users\Nathan\Documents\Springtrap_Goopie
+```
+
+**2. Then fix LFS and pull:**
+```bash
+cd C:\Users\Nathan\Documents\Springtrap_Goopie
+git lfs install
+git lfs pull
+```
+
+## Why This Happens:
+
+- **Network path** (`\\Hydra\Hydra\...`) has different permissions than **local path** (`R:\...`)
+- Git LFS is trying to access the network path but your user account doesn't have the right permissions
+- The local NAS path (`R:\`) should work better
+
+Try the first approach - it should resolve the LFS download issue by using the local NAS path instead of the network path.
