Hey, I'm sorry you're having trouble. There's not much in your report to go on, but a few points stand out. First, note that the environment variable is GIT_LFS_SKIP_SMUDGE, not GIT_LFS_SKIO_SMUDGE. That's probably just a typo in your report, though.

Second, the output of git lfs env you provided doesn't show any Endpoint value, which suggests you are not calling the command inside your Git working tree, so there's no information about what remote URL the client is trying to use. You need to run git lfs env inside the working tree to get a full report.

Third, the message unable to negotiate version with remote side implies you are trying to use the "pure" SSH transfer option for Git LFS, which is not yet supported by some Git LFS hosting services. We'll need to see at least a redacted version of the Endpoint from git lfs env to try to understand what's going on here, and it would also be helpful to know something about what kind of LFS storage service you're using.
