Description: Simple way to handle fat files without committing them to git
|
|
Checking large binary files into a source repository (Git or otherwise) is a
|
|
bad idea because repository size quickly becomes unreasonable. Even if the
|
|
instantaneous working tree stays manageable, preserving repository integrity
|
|
requires all binary files in the entire project history, which given the
|
|
typically poor compression of binary diffs, implies that the repository size
|
|
will become impractically large. Some people recommend checking binaries into
|
|
different repositories or even not versioning them at all, but these are not
|
|
satisfying solutions for most workflows.
