git commit -m "adding summer 2009 photos"

I don't think that will work out in long run.
GitHub doesn't work well with large and binary files

Also a repo size more than 1 gb would attract their attention

@Konsole Yeah but google often censor the files, so prefer Github which provides unlimited repos
Just git it :)

Welcome to devrant !!

@GurvirBhogal Thanks. Hope to enjoy the stay here!😃

@Konsole Is storing personal stuff like vacation pictures on there something that goes against their policy or what? xD Just name it "DCGAN training set summer 2009"

@Mosesrocks It's not against the policy. But they recommend that your repo size be less than 1 gb.

If it exceeds that, you get an email from them asking u to reduce the size.

I have no idea what they do if u refuse to comply.

Plus using GitHub for something like this feels a bit weird. git would take a lot of time in pushing/pulling things etc.
Plus GitHub has started throttling download speeds on binary files. So it would be very slow

Github max is 500GB...

Gitlab is 10GB

@devTea gitlab private repositories are free, though.

@RenoX I meant 500 MB

@devTea oh damn, wtf, is that true?

@RenoX Even GitHub are free

@Konsole they were paid when i last used github, i prefer gitlab.

@RenoX Never used gitlab. Any specific advantages over GitHub?

@Konsole cant think of anything too specific right now, but its open source, so you could run your own instance, ands its not owned my microsoft so thats always a plus.
i guess its just a personal preferance.

@Konsole but then you have awesome version control of your beach bod pics :O

@devTea easy make multiple accounts xD

@devTea that's not true

@devTea (follow up proof) https://help.github.com/en/...

@c3ypt1c it must have been before hithub got handed over to microsoft because I accidentally push 500MB+ DL model and got rejected in November 2018

@devTea aahhhh. That's a different hard limit. There is a per file limit of 100MB.

@c3ypt1c ah yes this must be it. Sorry for the misinforming

Just stick it in node_modules and no one will know 🤷‍♂️

Always funny when people do this and don't remember to check whether it's private or public.

@Konsole GitLab is stupidly more advanced than GitHub. The embedded DevOps pipeline is fucking neat. Just try it, you will love it. I only use github because every open source project host their stuff there. But my team always choose GitLab as our first choice

@Konsole one of the nice things is it has "folders" for repos. So you can assign people various privileges on a folder level, and organize repos and projects.

And it has free private repos, but GitHub has those too now...

@Quirinus Wow. That seems great

Git LFS handles this kinda stuff... Not gonna lie, I use it for files that have no place in a git repo 😂
