git annex tips

To ensure that your CSV files are managed by Git and not by git-annex, you can use the git annex unannex command to convert files that are currently managed by git-annex back to being managed by Git. After using unannex, you will commit the change to record the fact that these files are no longer managed by git-annex.

Here’s how you can do it:

  1. Navigate to your repository’s directory in the terminal.

  2. Unannex the CSV files you want to be managed by Git. You can do this for individual files or for all CSV files in a directory. Here’s how you do it for all CSV files in the current directory:

    git annex unannex *.csv

    If your CSV files are spread out in different directories or you want to be more selective, you’ll need to adjust the command accordingly.

  3. Commit the change to record that these files are no longer managed by git-annex:

    git commit -am "Move CSV files from git-annex to Git management"

  4. Push the changes to your remote repository:

    git push
