Re: [git-users] Storing files on a servor rather than on the git folder
I'm not really a Windows person. I use Linux for my development. I use
Windows at work, but only as a "regular user". I don't know how you do a
"git clone" using the products you mentioned. But on a Linux command line,
I can do something like:
I don't know how those Windows products interface with git.
git clone --separate-git-dir /NAS-box/${LOGNAME}/${repository}
At work, I have a C: drive and an I: drive. The latter is the standard for
everyone and is their personal LAN share. So, perhaps a command like:
git clone --separate-git-dir i:/git-for-project-1
On Linux, this creates a .git _file_ (not directory) which simply contains
the name of the directory which has the stuff which is normally in the .git
subdirectory.

Am I correct in reading your question as - Is there some way to use a version control system to store files outside of version control? I'm sorry, but it sounds like you are just about to create more problems for you... why not simply store the files in question on a windows share or something similar? When I've run into similar situations I've usually put the files on a shared disc and then set up the build system to pull in the correct files as needed. /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0x927912051716CE39 email: mag...@therning.org jabber: mag...@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain, and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality. -- Albert Einstein -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.

[git-users] Storing files on a servor rather than on the git folder
Hello everyone, I would like to know if it is possible to store file elsewhere that in the git folder. Let me explain myself: We use Git a lot and therefore the folder just get bigger and bigger, which slowed everything when we need to make a test or something else and of course we need to keeptrack of every single file, so no cleaning possible! I've seen solution about how it is possible to manage large binary files in Git (which is my problem), like git LFS, git annex, git bigfiles, git-fat, git-media, etc... The fact is I make my research and none of these solutions seem to be perfectly adapted to our development environment. We use Git on Windows and SourceTree as a Visual interface for Git. People here are afraid of command line and I cannot make anything to change the environment. My question is then: Is it possible to store file not on the hard drive but on a local server (like G://), maybe thanks to Git hook? I hope I've been clear and thank you for your response of any kind, tips and questions are welcome! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
