Large Files in Git suck




Git is text


(even though a few images are fine)




Database dumps suck


(but sometimes they are necessary)




Worse than database dumps:

Having to download them manually.



The Solution





Git-annex

  • manage files in git
  • don't check the contents into git

Getting started


 git init git annex init "my laptop"

Remotes


 git remote add laptop ~/annex git remote add usbdrive /media/pascal/thumbdrive

Adding Files


 git annex add big-large.iso git commit -a -m "Added big large ISO"

Getting files


 git pull laptop git annex get big-large.iso

Easier: Sync


 git annex sync

Updates all changes made to its remotes, pushes them and fetches changes.

The awesomesauce


  • Automatic locking
    (no accidental modifications)
  • Support for rsync, ssh, local files,
    ftp, [name-your-protocol]
  • Web interface (git-annex assistant)
  • ^ like Dropbox, but w/o PRISM
  • Written in Haskell
  • Can keep track of minimum number
    of copies (backup solution!)
  • Encryption

Let's do it


  • No reason not to use it.
  • Let's add database dumps
    to the repo.
  • You can still get it the
    old-fashioned way.




Random Candies

Bower 1.0.0

offline support, muuuch faster, nicer output, support for git SHA references, persistent conflict resolution, JSON output, register validation, components pruning, can download ubuntu

ngstorage


  • LocalStorage
  • AngularJS
  • 'nuff said.



jspm.io


Frictionless browser package management


JSPM.IO


  • Write ES6 modules today and use
    them in any browser.
  • Load AMD and CommonJS modules
    together in the same application.
  • Built on top of the ES6 Module Loader polyfill,
    making it standards-compliant and future-friendly.
  • Demo
