Ask HN: Binary files in Git repository, what is you workaround

3 points| kreco | 2 months ago

In every placed I worked, binary files within git were an issue. Sometimes we used git lfs, but it's definitely a pain.

I would be very interested to hear about various solutions used by others.

Depending on the context, git lfs for essential binaries, Artifact/Asset Repository for high volume of binaries like build or test artifctas.

Security and the avaialble scannning tools are also part of the decision, and so is the expected usage- do you expect to consume the resource outside of the context of Git.
