 The [[walkthrough]] builds up a decentralized git repository setup, but
-git-annex can also be used with a centralized bare repository, just like
-git can. This tutorial shows how to set up a centralized repository hosted on
-GitHub on GitLab or your own git server.
+git-annex can also be used with a centralized git repository. 
 
-## set up the repository, and make a checkout
+We have separate tutorials depending on where the centralized git
+repository is hosted.
 
-I've created a repository for technical talk videos, which you can
-[fork on Github](https://github.com/joeyh/techtalks).
-Or make your own repository on GitHub (or GitLab elsewhere) now.
+* You can use GitHub. However, GitHub does not currently let git-annex
+  store the contents of large files there. So, things get a little more
+  complicated. See [[centralized_git_repository_tutorial/on_GitHub]]
+  for a tutorial for using git-annex with GitHub.
 
-On your laptop, [[install]] git-annex, and clone the repository:
+* You can use GitLab. This service is similar to GitHub, but supports
+  git-annex. See [[centralized_git_repository_tutorial/on_GitLab]]
 
-	# git clone git@github.com:joeyh/techtalks.git
-	# cd techtalks
-
-Tell git-annex to use the repository, and describe where this clone is
-located:
-
-	# git annex init 'my laptop'
-	init my laptop ok
-
-Let's tell git-annex that GitHub doesn't support running git-annex-shell there.
-
-	# git config remote.origin.annex-ignore true
-
-This means you can't store annexed file *contents* on GitHub; it would
-really be better to host the bare repository on your own server, which
-would not have this limitation. (If you want to do that, check out
-[[using_gitolite_with_git-annex]].) Or, you could use GitLab, which
-*does* [support git-annex on their servers](https://about.gitlab.com/2015/02/17/gitlab-annex-solves-the-problem-of-versioning-large-binaries-with-git/).
-
-## add files to the repository
-
-Add some files, obtained however.
-
-	# youtube-dl -t 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9FagOVqxmI'
-	# git annex add *.mp4
-	add Haskell_Amuse_Bouche-b9FagOVqxmI.mp4 (checksum) ok
-	(Recording state in git...)
-	# git commit -m "added a video. I have not watched it yet but it sounds interesting"
-
-This file is available directly from the web; so git-annex can download it:
-
-	# git annex addurl http://kitenet.net/~joey/screencasts/git-annex_coding_in_haskell.ogg
-	addurl kitenet.net_~joey_screencasts_git-annex_coding_in_haskell.ogg
-	(downloading http://kitenet.net/~joey/screencasts/git-annex_coding_in_haskell.ogg ...)
-	(checksum...) ok
-	(Recording state in git...)
-	# git commit -a -m 'added a screencast I made'
-
-Feel free to rename the files, etc, using normal git commands:
-
-	# git mv Haskell_Amuse_Bouche-b9FagOVqxmI.mp4 Haskell_Amuse_Bouche.mp4
-	# git mv kitenet.net_~joey_screencasts_git-annex_coding_in_haskell.ogg git-annex_coding_in_haskell.ogg
-	# git commit -m 'better filenames'
-
-Now push your changes back to the central repository. As well as pushing
-the master branch, remember to push the git-annex branch, which is used to
-track the file contents.
-
-	# git push origin master git-annex
-	To git@github.com:joeyh/techtalks.git
-	 * [new branch]      master -> master
-	 * [new branch]      git-annex -> git-annex
-
-That push went fast, because it didn't upload large videos to GitHub.
-To check this, you can ask git-annex where the contents of the videos are:
-
-	# git annex whereis
-	whereis Haskell_Amuse_Bouche.mp4 (1 copy) 
-	  	767e8558-0955-11e1-be83-cbbeaab7fff8 -- here
-	ok
-	whereis git-annex_coding_in_haskell.ogg (2 copies) 
-	  	00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001 -- web
-	   	767e8558-0955-11e1-be83-cbbeaab7fff8 -- here
-	ok
-
-## make more checkouts
-
-So far you have a central repository, and a checkout on a laptop.
-Let's make another checkout that's used as a backup. You can put it anywhere
-you like, just make it be somewhere your laptop can access. A few options:
-
-* Put it on a USB drive that you can plug into the laptop.
-* Put it on a desktop.
-* Put it on some server in the local network.
-* Put it on a remote VPS.
-
-I'll use the VPS option, but these instructions should work for
-any of the above.
-
-	# ssh server
-	server# sudo apt-get install git-annex
-
-Clone the central repository as before. (If the clone fails, you need
-to add your server's ssh public key to github -- see
-[this page](http://help.github.com/ssh-issues/).)
-
-	server# git clone git@github.com:joeyh/techtalks.git
-	server# cd techtalks
-	server# git config remote.origin.annex-ignore true
-	server# git annex init 'backup'
-	init backup (merging origin/git-annex into git-annex...) ok
-
-Notice that the server does not have the contents of any of the files yet.
-If you run `ls`, you'll see broken symlinks. We want to populate this
-backup with the file contents, by copying them from your laptop.
-
-Back on your laptop, you need to configure a git remote for the backup.
-Adjust the ssh url as needed to point to wherever the backup is. (If it
-was on a local USB drive, you'd use the path to the repository instead.)
-
-	# git remote add backup ssh://server/~/techtalks
-
-Now git-annex on your laptop knows how to reach the backup repository,
-and can do things like copy files to it:
-
-	# git annex copy --to backup git-annex_coding_in_haskell.ogg
-	copy git-annex_coding_in_haskell.ogg (checking backup...)
-	12877824   2%  255.11kB/s    00:00
-	ok
-
-You can also `git annex move` files to it, to free up space on your laptop.
-And then you can `git annex get` files back to your laptop later on, as
-desired.
-
-After you use git-annex to move files around, remember to push, 
-which will broadcast its updated location information.
-
-	# git push origin master git-annex
-
-## take it farther
-
-Of course you can create as many checkouts as you desire. If you have a
-desktop machine too, you can make a checkout there, and use `git remote
-add` to also let your desktop access the backup repository. 
-
-You can add remotes for each direct connection between machines you find you
-need -- so make the laptop have the desktop as a remote, and the desktop
-have the laptop as a remote, and then on either machine git-annex can
-access files stored on the other.
+* You can use your own git server, which can be any unix system with
+  ssh and git and git-annex installed. A VPS, a home server, etc.
