Staying in Control of your Scientific Data with Git Annex

Scientific experiments can produce a lot of data, often very different in kind and scattered across devices and even remote locations. Keeping all of this in check is not a simple task and failure to do so can easily cause data loss due to accidental deletion or hardware failure (think cheap SD cards in measurement devices at remote locations). Git Annex can help with synchronisation, catalogisation, versioning and archival of data as well as collaboration.
