Pit

Source control for binary files via Google Drive

Installation

You need ruby and gdrive. Copy the pit file into a directory that's in your PATH.

Cloning a Drive directory with pit

Find the directory you want to clone in the Google Drive website and open it. In the URL, you'll notice a long id at the end, like this:

https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/<suspiciously-long-hash>

Copy it, and then open the terminal. Go to the directory you want to download into, and do:

pit clone <suspiciously-long-hash>

Likewise for pit init.

Why 'pit'?

Because it looks like git, but it's more like throwing your files in a pit.

Why does it exist?

We were trying to do a collab in Unreal Engine 4, and we used git. However, UE4's assets are binary files, and git keeps a copy for every version of a binary. So we reached our disk quota fast. And after a week of procrastination and bad decisions, pit was magically born.
