git-annex allows managing files with git, without checking the file
|
|
contents into git. While that may seem paradoxical, it is useful when
|
|
dealing with files larger than git can currently easily handle, whether due
|
|
to limitations in memory, time, or disk space.
|
|
|
|
Even without file content tracking, being able to manage files with git,
|
|
move files around and delete files with versioned directory trees, and use
|
|
branches and distributed clones, are all very handy reasons to use git.

|
git-annex is designed for git users who love the command line.

|
For everyone else, the [[git-annex assistant|assistant]] turns
|
|
git-annex into an easy to use folder synchroniser.
