Git annex vs lfs6/21/2023 Related to the previous is encryption a requirement or entirely optional? Are there common approaches used for open projects with sensitive data? launches a web interface to manage remotes and synchronizationĪbout encryption, if the repository is public, having the tokens/keys in the metadata would make little sense.what does it do? (in case we run out of time).fixes #issue-number) issues can be automatically closed by accident. If one of the remotes is a github/gitlab repository that reacts to special keywords in commits (e.g. or store them somewhere else and link them?Ī word of caution, git annex sync also syncronizes the history of all git remotes.git commands will not touch git-annexed files. So to upload the actual files I would use 'git add/commit/.' instead of git annex?.right, unless the person also has access to the storage of the actual files.So in the current example, if someone would clone the repo, he gets the metadata but could not use the files? I saw git-lfs mentioned in the special remotes list. I don't know the answer but I will ask it in a moment.Is there any compatibility layer to use (for instance) storage provided by git-lfs via git-annex? (both GitHub and GitLab provide git-lfs integration) :heart: any key-value store can be used to store the data.we will discuss that but to my limited knowledge git-annex can connect also to storage in the cloud by any of the cloud providers.If the files are not stored in git, are there locations were we can store the files? (for free?) -> Awesome, thanks for extensive answer and usage example !.yet another usecase: maybe your code always saves data to data/, but on one of your computers/servers, you might want to save it somewhere else (without changing code), you can then symlink data/ on that computer to point to an external drive or wherever.another usecase: same file which is really large and you don't want to fill the disk with multiple copies of the same thing (see also hardlink vs symlink).It's like having multiple names for the same file.It makes a symlink out of the file? What does that mean for general use? As an example, it's not recommended to store git repositories in syncthing shared folders if they are being used from multiple locations simultaneously. Syncthing handles each file individually so if you require folder consistency it's not the best option.
