TEST: Evaluating git lfs

Closed this issue · 1 comments

git lfs (large file storage) was a link shared by @QuincyLarson

https://git-lfs.github.com/

This are some of the videos used to evaluate this link:


Main Results:

  • A lot of still unsolved issues since 2015 in the LFS project? https://github.com/git-lfs/git-lfs/issues
  • It would just manage the versions of a large files so all the commits are not downloaded, only the last version? (to be checked)
  • It is also targeting large binary files, not csv or similar? (to be checked)
  • It seems to download the file only if you work on it? (to be checked)
  • It only work if any contributor has it installed, otherwise it would get all the commits as usual? (to be checked)

After several discussions, we found that this might not be what we are looking for the task. However, would be something to keep in mind for other cases.
