  • You can use it to save binaries, for sure... but it's not optimized for doing so. – eftshift0 Sep 28 '18 at 16:43

  • There is not a fixed hard limit on repository size, other than any imposed by your particular computer. There *was* a 4 gigabyte limit on pack files in much older versions of Git but this has been removed. (Well, technically there's a maximum size of 2^63-1, but you'll hit your own computer's limits way before this.) – torek Sep 28 '18 at 17:47
