git-dropbox

Simulate hg largefile on git with dropbox

Introduction

When we want to add large files into git repository, I wonder you do git add really. hg largefile put commit hash value into the file. And store into ~/.cache/largefiles. This is a git implementation of hg largefile using golang and dropbox. The files are stored in ~/.gitasset/data.

If you want to checkout this repository on another environment, you must sync ~/.gitasset/data before doing that.

Instruction

Install

$ go get github.com/mattn/git-dropbox

.gitconfig

Put follow into your ~/.gitconfig or .git/config:

[filter "dropbox"]
    clean = git-dropbox store
    smudge = git-dropbox load

.gitattribute

Create new file .gitattribute and put like follow:

*.png  filter=largefile
*.jpeg filter=largefile
*.jpg  filter=largefile
*.gif  filter=largefile

This mean which files are stored on your dropbox.

Warning

Note that don't cheating, cracking, or any other corrections. This application store application-token that i created. If you had corrections, and dropbox offcial stop and block this token, all users will have to replace new application token.
