Does GitLab support large files via git-annex or otherwise?


I run a GitLab instance and would like to allow my users to upload files of almost any size.

It is well-known that git still has problems with large files. I am aware of approaches to circumvent this issue by storing the files somewhere else and versioning just the metadata, e.g. git-annex, git-media and git-fat. Are any of these integrated into GitLab, or would it be easy to do so?


Solution

  • As of February 18 2015 git-annex is supported on GitLab 7.8 Enterprise Edition
