How do I use Git Annex?

How do I use Git Annex to manage large files in my Git repository?

Git Annex allows you to manage large files without storing them directly in your Git repository. You can add files to Git Annex using the command git annex add <file>, which will track the file's location instead of the file itself.

What happens to the files I add with Git Annex?

When you add files with Git Annex, it creates a symlink in your repository that points to the actual file stored in a separate location. This keeps your repository lightweight.

Can I sync these files across different machines?

Yes, you can sync files across different machines using Git Annex. You can use commands like git annex sync to synchronize the files and their locations.

Are there any limitations I should be aware of?

One limitation is that Git Annex requires a bit more setup than standard Git, and you need to manage the storage locations for your large files.
