## Git-LFS is not activated
The git-lfs feature is not activated. To version data or binary files, an option is to use git-annex on Inria Forge. Please have a look at the following links:
*[Inria Forge FAQ, look for the "Alternative solutions" item](http://siteadmin.gforge.inria.fr/FAQ.html#good_usage)

The git-lfs feature is not activated. To version data or binary files, an option is to use [git-annex](https://git-annex.branchable.com/).
Why isn't git-LFS activated? We observe that many users are trying to use git/gitlab to store huge volumes of data such as experimental datasets, experimental results, binary blobs, big data, etc. Git is not designed to handle such usage, and git-lfs would be the good answer, but because we do not have yet a working, production ready, quota system for gitlab, and because we do not yet have a clear strategy about how to manage such storage, we do not want to encourage such usages, and thus we decided to not enable git-lfs.
