[yt-dev] Re: git lfs for the answer-store directory

Hi all, So this is my fault originally, I should have probably thought through the repo size issue more carefully when we originally did this work with Abhishek a few years ago. Would having a separate repository that exists only to store the answer files be sufficient? The files are small enough and changes infrequent enough you likely won’t need to use lfs at all and offloading the issue away from the main yt repo avoids most of the pain people experience in practice (although unfortunately won’t help much with size of the existing repo).

Hi all,

I've been digging in, and it looks like it's possible I completely misread it, and that this would -- even with our small repository -- immediately blow up our bandwidth quota. It seems that the "large files" bandwidth is monitored separately, and that we'd be counted against it on every clone on an LFS-enabled system. So I'm still digging in to understand and see if there's an alternate, but right now I'm having some serious second thoughts.

Hey! sounds like a good idea! I think I saw a couple of other projects doing that. LSST (or whatever their current name is :-) ) being one of them. Cheers, Kacper

Hi folks,

We're seeing a bit of churn in the answer-store directory. I'd like to use git-lfs to manage this so that we can keep going without bloating the repo *too* much. We're getting a bit of churn right now and every time it adds a couple megs to the repo -- the latest one I'm looking at adds 15 megs, and I'm reluctant to do that.

This would keep our repo size down but also not disrupt our "answer-store" directory contents.

Any objections to trying this out?
