symlinkPointsToGitDir: symlink target points to git dir
remote: fatal: fsck error in pack objects
error: remote unpack failed: unpack-objects abnormal exit

IIUC, :git: implemented something that uselessly breaks :gitannex: / :datalad: compatibility on the remote side, amazing! 🤦

Me: Everyone needs to learn .

Also me: I run this script every single time before I start working in any git repo:

git checkout main ; git pull --ff ; git checkout develop && git pull --ff || git checkout -b develop ; git merge main ; git push

I have set up this alias:

git config --global alias.sumo '!git submodule sync && git submodule update --init --recursive'

This then does 'the submodule thing'

> git sumo

Submodules are useful, but I hate how chonky they feel in use. I especially hate how submodules need constant care after every sync. Need to run 'git sumo' all the time 🙄

@datalad helps a bit with this.

I've been using @datadryad to structure my supplementary materials (including some code) for a manuscript. Things I don't like about DataDryad: (1) flat hierarchy / no organization of uploaded datasets, without a way to sort them beyond the last one you edited - Good luck keeping multiple datasets per projects straight. (2) Flat hierarchy for uploaded files - no folders allowed (3) No introspection into uploaded archive files (like .zip) - good luck remembering what you packed into that file.

Okay, simple finding. GitHub has pretty strict file size quotas: 100 MB. You can use Git LFS to go beyond that, but then you only have ~2GB of LFS storage across your whole Pro GitHub account. So my hope to use Github->Zenodo archiving for any file, is a bit premature for >100 MB files.

In other news, I came across this tool: https://github.com/datalad/datalad , which seems neat.

Does anyone have experience with it?
