What are some alternatives to Git LFS?

What are some alternatives to Git LFS?

There are several alternatives to Git LFS, including Git Annex, Git Large File Storage (GLFS), and using cloud storage solutions like AWS S3.

Can you explain how Git Annex works?

Git Annex allows you to manage large files with Git without storing them directly in the repository. It keeps track of where the files are stored and can use various backends for storage.

What are the pros and cons of using Git Annex?

Pros include flexibility in storage options and not bloating the repository. Cons can be complexity in setup and management.

Are there any other tools that integrate well with Git?

Yes, tools like Git LFS, DVC (Data Version Control), and even cloud services like Dropbox can integrate with Git for managing large files.

Which one would you recommend for a team working on large datasets?

For teams working on large datasets, I recommend DVC as it provides version control specifically for data and integrates well with Git.
