I think that local paths are supported from git-lfs 2.10.0. before there was a workaround by using an absolute path to the repo.

Currently, we only support local remotes using file URLs, but not local paths. …This is a highly requested feature, however, so implement support for local paths as remotes. First, fix the handling of local paths we already have: the handling of absolute Unix-style paths. Instead of checking for the remote to contain a file URL to determine whether to append "info/lfs" to the URL, look to see if the URL we're using is a file URL, which will catch local paths which will have been rewritten as such by this point. If we get something that looks like it's not a URL, check if it's a file on the file system, and if so, don't attempt to interpret it as an SSH URL. This fixes the confusion with Windows paths, which resemble SSH-style locations with a single-letter alias as the host name. Finally, when turning a local path into a file URL, turn the path into an absolute one if possible and rewrite it using slashes, which is required for file URLs. Add several tests for the various cases: one for Unix-style paths, one for native paths, and one for relative paths. Fixes #3914.

Woha, I didn’t know there was already an extension, thanks for this! Let’s hope it works, if it doesn’t it’s a great start nonetheless
