I've been thinking about this for a while, and thought github finally understood the value of a "git for data". Github really needs to be data repository, with "Code" being only one type of data. But then they become a hosting service for large data files, and that is a headache and a different business. I dont see how academics who work with reasonably large datasets would move to github as long as they have to manage their data on another platform. Perhaps Github could have deep integration with AWS / DO and collaborate to solve that pain point.
