The [[walkthrough]] builds up a decentralized git repository setup, but
git-annex can also be used with a centralized bare repository, just like
git can. This tutorial shows how to set up a centralized repository hosted on
GitHub.
GitHub on GitLab or your own git server.
## set up the repository, and make a checkout
I've created a repository for technical talk videos, which you can
[fork on Github](https://github.com/joeyh/techtalks).
Or make your own repository on GitHub (or elsewhere) now.

Let's tell git-annex that GitHub doesn't support running git-annex-shell there.
# git config remote.origin.annex-ignore true
This means you can't store annexed file *contents* on GitHub; it would
really be better to host the bare repository on your own server, which
would not have this limitation. (If you want to do that, check out
[[using_gitolite_with_git-annex]].)
# git config remote.origin.annex-ignore true

*does* [support git-annex on their servers](https://about.gitlab.com/2015/02/17/gitlab-annex-solves-the-problem-of-versioning-large-binaries-with-git/).
