`git-gfs`\n\nSeamlessly manage large files without the (probable) costs of `git lfs`.\n\nUsing file patterns marked in `.gitattributes`, efficiently store the contents in chunks as git objects inside of `.git` during checkout/clean phases and pushes them to the git repository.\n\nCreating chunks and pushing chunks in smaller batches is to bypass the limits set by git providers such as GitHub.\n\n## Development status\n\nCurrently a work in progress.\nThe current target state is to upload all large files in chunks as git objects in a single repository.\n\nThis target may be extended to bypass limits by git providers.\n\n### Features\n\n- [ ] `clean` (checkout: staged -\u003e working)\n- [ ] `smudge` (staged: working -\u003e staged)\n- [ ] `pre-push\"`\n\n## How to think\n\nChecked in\n\n```\n.\n|- .gfs/blobs/[blob]\n```\n\n## Installation\n\nPlease only install if you're confident you can undo any mess created by this software.\n\nDo not rely on this software (yet).\n\n## Setup\n\n```sh\n# add `gfs` filter to git config.\ngit config --local set \"filter.gfs.clean\" \"git-gfs clean %f\"\ngit config --local set \"filter.gfs.clean\" \"git-gfs smudge %f\"\ngit config --local set \"filter.gfs.required\" \"true\"\n```\n\n```sh\n# add `pre-push` git hook.\necho $'#!/bin/sh\\n\\ngit-gfs pre-push' \u003e .git/hooks/pre-push \u0026\u0026 chmod +x .git/hooks/pre-push\n```\n\n## Usage\n\nThese examples assume this is what is in `.gitattributes`.\n\n```sh\n# add file pattern to `.gitattributes`,\n# with the gfs filter\necho $'*.bigfile filter=gfs -text\\n' \u003e\u003e .gitattributes\n```\n\n### Checking in files\n\nThis has one test, and it seems to work.\n\n```sh\n# once you're big file is created,\n# check it in\ngit add path/to/phat.bigfile\n\n# the command `git-gfs clean path/to/phat.bigfile` is now running,\n# splitting the file into parts and storing them inside the git database.\n\n# commit your file\ngit commit -m 'test: add phat bigfile'\n```\n\n### Pushing files to the remote\n\nThis isn't tested! Likely doesn't work.\n\n```sh\n# push your change to the remote.\ngit push\n\n# Uploading one part at a time first as references in the `pre-push` phase.\n# Once complete, it will upload the pointers to the remote.\n```\n\n### Checking out files\n\nThis isn't tested! Likely doesn't work.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fwaynevanson%2Fgit-gfs","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fwaynevanson%2Fgit-gfs","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fwaynevanson%2Fgit-gfs/lists"}
