GitHub is announcing that is will soon support the open source extension Git LFS (Large File System) on every repository they host.
This extension allows the replacement of large files (audio samples, images, textures models, various assets...) by references pointing to a remote server, allowing you to store huge files in your repository. While GitHub is only now implementing it as part of its service, it can be used without GitHub as of now.
This system could easily benefit organizations and projects relying on a heavy quantity of assets.
See the official announcement here on the GitHub blog.
Do you use GitHub for your work? How do you think this could be implemented in your organization and projects? I know this will end up replacing the complex workflow I have put in place in my company, based on on a intricate system of submodules.
