# Git annex
> **Warning:** GitLab has [completely
removed][deprecate-annex-issue] in GitLab 9.0 (2017/03/22).
Read through the [migration guide from git-annex to git-lfs][guide].
The biggest limitation of Git, compared to some older centralized version
control systems, has been the maximum size of the repositories.
The general recommendation is to not have Git repositories larger than 1GB to
preserve performance. Although GitLab has no limit (some repositories in GitLab
are over 50GB!), we subscribe to the advice to keep repositories as small as
you can.
Not being able to version control large binaries is a big problem for many
larger organizations.
Videos, photos, audio, compiled binaries and many other types of files are too
large. As a workaround, people keep artwork-in-progress in a Dropbox folder and
only check in the final result. This results in using outdated files, not
having a complete history and increases the risk of losing work.
This problem is solved in GitLab Enterprise Edition by integrating the
[git-annex] application.
`git-annex` allows managing large binaries with Git without checking the
contents into Git.
You check-in only a symlink that contains the SHA-1 of the large binary. If you
need the large binary, you can sync it from the GitLab server over `rsync`, a
very fast file copying tool.
## GitLab git-annex Configuration
`git-annex` is disabled by default in GitLab. Below you will find the
configuration options required to enable it.
### Requirements
`git-annex` needs to be installed both on the server and the client side.
For Debian-like systems (e.g., Debian, Ubuntu) this can be achieved by running:
```
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install git-annex
```
For RedHat-like systems (e.g., CentOS, RHEL) this can be achieved by running:
```
sudo yum install epel-release && sudo yum install git-annex
```
### Configuration for Omnibus packages
For omnibus-gitlab packages, only one configuration setting is needed.
The Omnibus package will internally set the correct options in all locations.
1. In `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb` add the following line:
```ruby
gitlab_shell['git_annex_enabled'] = true
```
1. Save the file and [reconfigure GitLab][] for the changes to take effect.
### Configuration for installations from source
There are 2 settings to enable git-annex on your GitLab server.
One is located in `config/gitlab.yml` of the GitLab repository and the other
one is located in `config.yml` of gitlab-shell.
1. In `config/gitlab.yml` add or edit the following lines:
```yaml
gitlab_shell:
git_annex_enabled: true
```
1. In `config.yml` of gitlab-shell add or edit the following lines:
```yaml
git_annex_enabled: true
```
1. Save the files and [restart GitLab][] for the changes to take effect.
## Using GitLab git-annex
> **Note:**
> Your Git remotes must be using the SSH protocol, not HTTP(S).
Here is an example workflow of uploading a very large file and then checking it
into your Git repository:
```bash
git clone git@example.com:group/project.git
git annex init 'My Laptop' # initialize the annex project and give an optional description
cp ~/tmp/debian.iso ./ # copy a large file into the current directory
git annex add debian.iso # add the large file to git annex
git commit -am "Add Debian iso" # commit the file metadata
git annex sync --content # sync the Git repo and large file to the GitLab server
```
The output should look like this:
```
commit
On branch master
Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 1 commit.
(use "git push" to publish your local commits)
nothing to commit, working tree clean
ok
pull origin

To example.com:group/project.git
* [new branch] git-annex -> synced/git-annex
* [new branch] master -> synced/master
ok
```
Your files can be found in the `master` branch, but you'll notice that there
are more branches created by the `annex sync` command.
Git Annex will also create a new directory at `.git/annex/` and will record the
tracked files in the `.git/config` file. The files you assign to be tracked
with `git-annex` will not affect the existing `.git/config` records. The files
are turned into symbolic links that point to data in `.git/annex/objects/`.
The `debian.iso` file in the example will contain the symbolic link:
```
.git/annex/objects/ZW/1k/SHA256E-s82701--6384039733b5035b559efd5a2e25a493ab6e09aabfd5162cc03f6f0ec238429d.png/SHA256E-s82701--6384039733b5035b559efd5a2e25a493ab6e09aabfd5162cc03f6f0ec238429d.iso
```
Use `git annex info` to retrieve the information about the local copy of your
repository.
---
Downloading a single large file is also very simple:
```bash
git clone git@gitlab.example.com:group/project.git
git annex sync # sync Git branches but not the large file
git annex get debian.iso # download the large file
```
To download all files:
```bash
git clone git@gitlab.example.com:group/project.git
git annex sync --content # sync Git branches and download all the large files
```
By using `git-annex` without GitLab, anyone that can access the server can also
access the files of all projects, but GitLab Annex ensures that you can only
access files of projects you have access to (developer, maintainer, or owner role).
## How it works
Internally GitLab uses [GitLab Shell] to handle SSH access and this was a great
integration point for `git-annex`.
There is a setting in gitlab-shell so you can disable GitLab Annex support
if you want to.
## Troubleshooting tips
Differences in version of `git-annex` on the GitLab server and on local machines
can cause `git-annex` to raise unpredicted warnings and errors.
Consult the [Annex upgrade page][annex-upgrade] for more information about
the differences between versions. You can find out which version is installed
on your server by navigating to <https://pkgs.org/download/git-annex> and
searching for your distribution.
Although there is no general guide for `git-annex` errors, there are a few tips
on how to go around the warnings.
### git-annex-shell: Not a git-annex or gcrypt repository.
This warning can appear on the initial `git annex sync --content` and is caused
by differences in `git-annex-shell`. You can read more about it
[in this git-annex issue][issue].
One important thing to note is that despite the warning, the `sync` succeeds
and the files are pushed to the GitLab repository.
If you get hit by this, you can run the following command inside the repository
that the warning was raised:
```
git config remote.origin.annex-ignore false
```
Consecutive runs of `git annex sync --content` **should not** produce this
warning and the output should look like this:
```
commit ok
pull origin
ok
pull origin
ok
push origin
```

# Issue Weight **[STARTER]**
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/merge_requests/76)
> in [GitLab Starter](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) 8.3.
When you have a lot of issues, it can be hard to get an overview.
By adding a weight to each issue, you can get a better idea of how much time,
value or complexity a given issue has or will cost.
You can set the weight of an issue during its creation, by simply changing the
value in the dropdown menu. You can set it to a non-negative integer
value from 0, 1, 2, and so on. (The database stores a 4-byte value, so the
upper bound is essentially limitless).
You can remove weight from an issue
as well.
This value will appear on the right sidebar of an individual issue, as well as
in the issues page next to a distinctive balance scale icon.
As an added bonus, you can see the total sum of all issues on the milestone page.

# Migration guide from Git Annex to Git LFS
>**Note:**
Git Annex support [has been removed][issue-remove-annex] in GitLab Enterprise
Edition 9.0 (2017/03/22).
Both [Git Annex][] and [Git LFS][] are tools to manage large files in Git.
## History
Git Annex [was introduced in GitLab Enterprise Edition 7.8][post-3], at a time
where Git LFS didn't yet exist. A few months later, GitLab brought support for
Git LFS in [GitLab 8.2][post-2] and is available for both Community and
Enterprise editions.
## Differences between Git Annex and Git LFS
Some items below are general differences between the two protocols and some are
ones that GitLab developed.
- Git Annex works only through SSH, whereas Git LFS works both with SSH and HTTPS
(SSH support was added in GitLab 8.12).
- Annex files are stored in a sub-directory of the normal repositories, whereas
LFS files are stored outside of the repositories in a place you can define.
- Git Annex requires a more complex setup, but has much more options than Git
LFS. You can compare the commands each one offers by running `man git-annex`
and `man git-lfs`.
- Annex files cannot be browsed directly in GitLab's interface, whereas LFS
files can.
## Migration steps
>**Note:**
Since Git Annex files are stored in a sub-directory of the normal repositories
(`.git/annex/objects`) and LFS files are stored outside of the repositories,
they are not compatible as they are using a different scheme. Therefore, the
migration has to be done manually per repository.
There are basically two steps you need to take in order to migrate from Git
Annex to Git LFS.
### TL; DR
If you know what you are doing and want to skip the reading, this is what you
need to do (we assume you have [git-annex enabled][annex-gitlab-use] in your
repository and that you have made backups in case something goes wrong).
Fire up a terminal, navigate to your Git repository and:
1. Disable `git-annex`:
```bash
git annex sync --content
git annex direct
git annex uninit
git annex indirect
```
1. Enable `git-lfs`:
```
git lfs install
git lfs track <files>
git add .
git commit -m "commit message"
git push
```
### Disabling Git Annex in your repo
Before changing anything, make sure you have a backup of your repository first.
There are a couple of ways to do that, but you can simply clone it to another
local path and maybe push it to GitLab if you want a remote backup as well.
Here you'll find a guide on
[how to back up a **git-annex** repository to an external hard drive][bkp-ext-drive].
Since Annex files are stored as objects with symlinks and cannot be directly
modified, we need to first remove those symlinks.
>**Note:**
Make sure the you read about the [`direct` mode][annex-direct] as it contains
useful information that may fit in your use case. Note that `annex direct` is
deprecated in Git Annex version 6, so you may need to upgrade your repository
if the server also has Git Annex 6 installed. Read more in the
[Git Annex troubleshooting tips][annex-tips] section.
1. Backup your repository
```bash
cd repository
git annex sync --content
cd ..
git clone repository repository-backup
cd repository-backup
git annex get
cd ..
```
1. Use `annex direct`:
```bash
cd repository
git annex direct
```
The output should be similar to this:
```bash
commit
On branch master
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'.
nothing to commit, working tree clean
ok
direct debian.iso ok
direct ok
```
1. Disable Git Annex with [`annex uninit`][uninit]:
```bash
git annex uninit
```
The output should be similar to this:
```bash
unannex debian.iso ok
Deleted branch git-annex (was 2534d2c).
```
This will `unannex` every file in the repository, leaving the original files.
1. Switch back to `indirect` mode:
```bash
git annex indirect
```
The output should be similar to this:
```bash
(merging origin/git-annex into git-annex...)
(recording state in git...)
commit (recording state in git...)
ok
(recording state in git...)
[master fac3194] commit before switching to indirect mode
1 file changed, 1 deletion(-)
delete mode 120000 alpine-virt-3.4.4-x86_64.iso
ok
indirect ok
ok
```
---
At this point, you have two options. Either add, commit and push the files
directly back to GitLab or switch to Git LFS. We will tackle the LFS switch in
the next section.
### Enabling Git LFS in your repo
Git LFS is enabled by default on all GitLab products (GitLab CE, GitLab EE,
GitLab.com), therefore, you don't need to do anything server-side.
1. First, make sure you have `git-lfs` installed locally:
```bash
git lfs help
```
If the terminal doesn't prompt you with a full response on `git-lfs` commands,
[install the Git LFS client][install-lfs] first.
1. Inside the repo, run the following command to initiate LFS:
```bash
git lfs install
```
1. Enable `git-lfs` for the group of files you want to track. You
can track specific files, all files containing the same extension, or an
entire directory:
```bash
git lfs track images/01.png # per file
git lfs track **/*.png # per extension
git lfs track images/ # per directory
```
Once you do that, run `git status` and you'll see `.gitattributes` added
to your repo. It collects all file patterns that you chose to track via
`git-lfs`.
1. Add the files, commit and push them to GitLab:
```bash
git add .
git commit -m "commit message"
git push
```
If your remote is set up with HTTP, you will be asked to enter your login
credentials. If you have [2FA enabled][2fa], make sure to use a
[personal access token][token] instead of your password.
## Removing the Git Annex branches
After the migration finishes successfully, you can remove all `git-annex`
related branches from your repository.
On GitLab, navigate to your project's **Repository ➔ Branches** and delete all
branches created by Git Annex: `git-annex`, and all under `synced/`.
![repository branches](images/git-annex-branches.png)
You can also do this on the commandline with:
```bash
git branch -d synced/master
git branch -d synced/git-annex
git push origin :synced/master
git push origin :synced/git-annex
git push origin :git-annex
git remote prune origin
```
If there are still some Annex objects inside your repository (`.git/annex/`)
or references inside `.git/config`, run `annex uninit` again:
```bash
git annex uninit
```
