repo.macintoshgarden.org-fileset VS snowfs

Sure, how would you like to get in touch? You have a discord, right? I actually was looking at your project and was thinking of opening a simple PR and Issue. (same username)

I have some more examples git-annex repos:

This is an annex repo I made of this popular abandonware website:

https://github.com/unqueued/repo.macintoshgarden.org-fileset

https://github.com/unqueued/ratholeradio-archive

What's cool is that people can use standard pull requests to add files to the repo. And the repo itself is small, but it can represent huge filesets. Datalad has some really fascinating medical imaging data repos that are massive (https://www.datalad.org/datasets.html).

If you wanna see a really good example of a repo with versioned binary files, check this out the git annex repo of previous git-annex binary releases:

https://downloads.kitenet.net/.git/

You can just use standard git workflows to see previous revisions of a file (well, previous hashes) but it is really easy to hook into.

I actually have thought about making a special remote specifically to diff images. But yeah, git-annex does a really amazing job at bridging the bag between binary and git.

Have you heard of https://www.snowtrack.io? It’s like a GitHub fork based backup system for any folder. I haven’t tested it much but the dev is active on Reddit and was looking for people to test it not too long ago

I'm looking for a program like git and GitHub for large files, (like Blender/Krita/etc... files). I already found some stuff like Snow Track, Alien Brain, but I want something free and with cloud storage to share my work.

I was actually testing Snowtrack recently, worked pretty good so far, especially since it is built around working with 3D files.

Generally speaking, Git and PlasticSCM are both great candidates, although they both require some technical background. We are working on an open-source version control system called SnowFS for graphic projects.

I've used ShareIO in the past along w/ Google Drive or Dropbox. It works well, but has some limitations. There are also these version control apps. Currently in beta. https://www.snowtrack.io https://www.anchorpoint.app

It's very interesting to see how many industries are behind version control and that it never got picked up in big style. Exciting times ahead! :-) Btw, you can see the end-result at www.snowtrack.io

We are looking for contributors who can help with their expertise to make an official npm package out of SnowFS. If you're interested to join, feel free to check out this new issue

I'm a maintainer of a project called SnowFS. SnowFS is a high-performance command-line application and node library for Windows, macOS and Linux with a focus on binary file versioning, written in TypeScript.
