@joeyh @cwebber I want to love git-annex, but I screwed up when I tried it once or twice.

Maybe this is a case where my knowledge gap is so big that videos would help?

Do you know of any off-hand?

I suppose I should look for myself...

@dckc @joeyh @cwebber I made an overview here, but not overly in-depth:

@dckc I've thought about recording such a video or doing a blogpost but hard to find time for it, @joeyh might have more to say

[cwebber@social.coop]

@nobodyinperson @dckc @joeyh Oh very cool!

@cwebber @dckc I think there is a big lack of videos of the sort "here's how I use git-annex in this specific circumstance, in case you were wanting to do the same kind of thing".

Fields where examples like that have built up tend to have a lot more git-annex users. Neuroscience for one. When I listen to neuroscientists talking about how to use git-annex I barely understand them half the time though.

I collect videos at https://git-annex.branchable.com/videos/ and there are a few general presentations there, I recommend the ones done by other people than me.
