Of course if this were documented I'd never have opted for LFS in the first place, since it makes git effectively centralized again. (There is an alternate non-symlink mechanism for Windows that I dont use and know little about.) Git annex keeps a log of which. *I can't find this last issue documented anywhere, only mentioned in this answer and hinted at (but not directly stated) by various error messges. Ideally without fully rebasing from before the first LFS commit, but I imagine that is unavoidable. I'd be happily convinced that LFS is somehow actually useful for my case.
Git annex vs lfs how to#
My question is the inverse, then, of How to migrate from Git-Annex to Git LFS, because I seem to be missing the bandwagon. Git hosting services like Github do have file size limits (even with LFS). You can remove it after the fact if you dont like it, it supports a ton of protocols, and its distributed just like git is (you can share the files managed by git-annex among different repos or even among different non-git backends such as S3). While Git can technically handle arbitrarily large files, it will be very slow in indexing them. How can I clean the repo of LFS so that I can use git-annex? Ideally without fully rebasing from before the first LFS commit, but I imagine that is unavoidable. git-annex is an interesting alternative the HTTP-first nature of Git LFS and the one-way door bother you.
I cannot bypass github to get my files to the other remotes because of the quota. Up to the last few commits, they have been pushed to github (until I reached quota), which could then be manually pulled from github to my other remotes, but not pushed to them from my local. My sense is that Git LFS with custom backend storage works fine for most CKAN use cases in which customer has their own storage.
To associate a file type in your repository with Git LFS, enter git lfs track followed by the name of the file extension you want to automatically upload to Git LFS. My current status is this: Several commits in my main working local repository, a few of which contain LFS files. Change your current working directory to an existing repository youd like to use with Git LFS. ssh/config information into git remote set-url for all remotes, and could no longer use any other computers as remotes over ssh*. Of course, github complained, and naively trusting their suggestion, I opted to use LFS.Īfter two or three commits: my repository reached github's LFS data quota, I had to rename all my remotes to origin, had to explicitly add all my. In a moment of delirium before a deadline, I added a large (> 100 MB) binary to a repository with remotes on private hosts as well as github.
