#git #gamedev #binaryFiles #Blender #gltb

Small project has:
player.gd
bigbinary.blend

How can i add both but have bigbinary.blend only ever have one copy on my local repo and one copy on the remote repo?

I want to change that blend file. Add. Commit and push, and have the latest file *replace* the one on remote.

I.e. for known binary files i want one copy of them in the repo but not versioned or duplicated locally or remotely.

git annex may help. Any other hook or filters ideas?

@mastohost
Intuitively, we somehow knew this. Is this related to @PixelFed by any chance.

So our host, @witchescauldron, doesn't store or serve images or video media?

Is this because #images and #video form a massive attack surface, being #binaryFiles? Respectfully, this #centralisation problem needs to be solved - not just on our admin's server but #network wide.

If our understanding is off base in any way, please correct us.

Thanks.
