GitMinutes #16: Joey Hess on git-annex

In this episode we talk to Joey Hess, the inventor of git-annex and many other useful tools you may be familiar with. Joey has worked on Debian since the 90’s, including building the Debian installer. We already mentioned git-annex many times on this podcast, so most of you should know it is a tool for tracking large external files from Git repositories. We also touch on a lot of other topics, including KickStarter, Haskell and PRISM.
