Description

A Git extension for managing large or distributed files without storing their contents directly in the Git repository. It tracks file metadata in Git while keeping content in annexed storage locations.

Use it when projects need versioned references to large files, datasets, media, or backups. Data location and availability matter, so plan remotes and verify content before deleting copies.

How to run

Commands: git-annex
