How do I handle binary files with git?

I think using Git Large File Storage is a good idea.

Git Large File Storage is an open-source Git extension designed to improve the "incorporation of large-capacity binary files such as audio samples and datasets, graphics and video" in Git workflows.

The fee is free up to 1GB.Starting at $5 a month for 50GB.Please refer to Price List for more information as the transfer fee is set separately set.

That's right.

Note:
Git Large File Storage official release - Publickey http://www.publickey1.jp/blog/15/git_lfs.html
for GitHub and Git to handle large files such as images and videos Git Large File Storage https://git-lfs.github.com/

Assume that the situation is as follows.

• There are lots of images, videos and more in the web development project.
• Editing images and videos is managed separately from the source code, and only finalized images are placed on the source tree.
• Git wants to manage source code

*Please ignore this answer if the main purpose of managing videos is to manage source code.

If the number of files is large, but git is not too much to handle, manage them separately with submodule.

"If ""image history doesn't have to follow up so much in real time"" in a situation where there are a lot of images, I wonder if it will be possible to avoid problems such as taking a long time to develop by submodule and pulling the submodule side when I feel like it."

Don't manage with git if it's too much to handle.

It is easy to remove from git management and treat it as a separate layer such as configuration management.

• During development, a directory containing large files such as /movie/ on the web server side will be referred to the NFS directory.(Always up to date on NFS)
• If you want to keep a history of files that exist at the time of release in a production release, you can use chef or scripts to automate.
• Use Git hook if you want to work with git.

"How do you want to manage the video for what purpose and with what priority?" But I think it's best to leave it outside the basic git repository.
