How to share binary content? #31

Open matthiasbeyer opened 9 years ago

matthiasbeyer commented 9 years ago

We do not have a solution yet: How to share the PDFs and the other binary content. I won't check them into git, that's for sure.

@fkemmer opts for git-annex, as I do.

TheNeikos commented 8 years ago

You do realize that with git-annex you just put in the index of a file rather than it's contents, making it useless to have in this case?

matthiasbeyer commented 8 years ago

No. We would put the annex directory (the git repository) on github, but the content (the real files) onto unfug.org. This way, one is able to clone the repository from github and then git annex get file.pdf to get the real files.

(The CCC does it this way, for example. You can download the whole index of CCC videos from github and then pull the movies and stuff from media.ccc.de)

Well then, I must have misread (or not enough) the pieces I saw about it. In that case I would say go for it.

Something like Git LFS might also do the trick.
