git-annex allows managing files with git, without checking the file contents into git. While that may seem paradoxical, it is useful when dealing with files larger than git can currently easily handle, whether due to limitations in memory, time, or disk space. It also is a method to "use" multiple storage locations without having to keep all these locations as perfect duplicates of each other. Instead each is a git 'remote' and you can pull or push to them as needed. | git-annex allows managing files with git, without checking the file contents into git.
