git annex: Manage files with Git, without checking their contents in.

When a file is annexed, its content is moved into a key-value store, and a symlink is made that points to the content.

Initialize a repo with Git annex:

git annex init

Add a file:

git annex add path/to/file_or_directory

Show the current status of a file or directory:

git annex status path/to/file_or_directory

Synchronize a local repository with a remote:

git annex remote

Get a file or directory:

git annex get path/to/file_or_directory

Display help:

git annex help
