Does this project have any utility for working with binary files?

[colbyn]

I have a very general question if you don’t mind: in summary, does this project have any utility for working with binary files?

Perhaps this is out of the scope of this project, but I thought I'd ask just in case.

TLDR

I’d like to be able to save and update app generated binary files in a git repo, and do so as efficiently as possible (to stay under GitHub’s free tier size limits).

-To elaborate-

I’m working on a note-taking project (notably for school notes) that supports a markup language that can include ‘drawing’, essentially binary files from the iPad freeform drawing apps, and I’d like to store both the plain-text markup files and binary drawing files in the git tree, and as I mentioned, do so as efficiently as possible to stay under GitHub’s free tier size limits. Furthermore, synchronizing files generated VIA the iPad and accessing such on my laptop is a huge pain, and I’m kinda thinking about setting up the iPad apps to work with git repos directly in some way.

Not in particular. If you need to manipulate commits in-memory instead, then this project might be for you.

You can explore using Git LFS or implementing your own clean/smudge filters to handle binary asset management.
