backup photos to github
- idempotent: after running once, running again effectively does nothing (until new photos are discovered on phone)
- incremental / interruptible: the phone can be unplugged at any time, and running it later will be able to recover and resume.
- respectful: "We recommend repositories remain small, ideally less than 1 GB, and less than 5 GB is strongly recommended." and "GitHub limits the size of files allowed in repositories. If you attempt to add or update a file that is larger than 50 MB, you will receive a warning from Git." -- https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/working-with-files/managing-large-files/about-large-files-on-github

"Storing Images and Demos in your Repo" Storing-Images-On-Github.md https://gist.github.com/joncardasis/e6494afd538a400722545163eb2e1fa5 describes how to put images in a separate branch in a repo for use in the main branch's README. (But why would you do that instead of simply using a completely separate repo?)
