Git-lfs Alternatives

Reviews and mentions

• Can I use GitHub to publish data unrelated to coding (like Wallpapers, Public Documents) ?

• Where do you guys store large files when pushing codes to GitHub?

  Use git-lfs. It’s incredibly easy to use. If your source code depends on large datasets or similar, it’s nice to store/version those with the code but not check them in as normal source files. Git lfs checks in a reference and automatically does the fetching when you need.

• I have followed all the steps for pushing large files using the LFS. But I am still having an issue with this single .rpa file whenever I attempt to push to remote. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

  I would also recommend enabling LFS right away. Even though it's not technically needed when you have unlimited storage, it makes fetching and pulling faster and keeps the whole repository leaner.

  git-lfs: It can upload your large files into Github's storage. (5GB with a free plan I believe)

• Error while using LFS GIT to commit and push larger files than normal Github File limit

  Do large files already exist in the repo history? You probably need to either start new using LFS or use git lfs migrate to change the history (more info from GH here).

  Whether it belongs in a repo or not really depends on the use-case, but it sounds like you want a versioned language model so you can change it later and the other projects will use them naturally. To me, it sounds like you want to have these large files in separate repositories, and Github support large files: https://git-lfs.github.com/
