We need to do a few things here:

TLDR: We want to avoid committing binaries or large files to the repo at all costs. It'll be easier to fix than on git lfs/fat, but still annoying.

  • Identify binaries by extension
  • Identify binaries by thumbprint (first 8 bytes, first 2 bytes (windows), etc
  • Add identified files to .gitignore if not already present.

Hmm. I hadn't thought of this scenario. With an allowlist you want to strictly stop this tool from uploading any files/binaries which are not say .pkg, .dmg, and other explicitly specified supported types?

The other way, we want to explicitly make sure all binaries are in .gitignore and do not get committed to git by accident.

We want to upload the files but not commit them. We only want to commit the metadata.
