* `annex.largefiles`
Allows configuring which files `git annex add` and the assistant consider
to be large enough to need to be added to the annex. By default,
all files are added to the annex.
Allows configuring which files are considered to be large enough to
need to be added to the annex. By default, all specified files are added
to the annex, but configuring this can cause the small files to be
checked into git, without using the annex.
The value is a preferred content expression. See [[git-annex-preferred-content]](1)
for details.
Example:
annex.largefiles = largerthan=100kb and not (include=*.c or include=*.h)
annex.largefiles = largerthan=100kb and not (include=*.c or include=*.h)
This setting is used by `git annex add` and the assistant.
It can be useful to temporarily override it via -c at the command line.
For example:
git annex add -c annex.largefiles='include=*' 99kbfile
