Learn Crab from mental model to production operations.
A guided curriculum for evaluating serverless large-file Git: start with the mental model, run the first workflow, then inspect deduplication, hydration, consistency, cleanup, and Git LFS migration.
Follow the sequence
Each step has a job: orient, try, inspect, then operate. Migration now lives with the operational material because it depends on the same storage, cost, and consistency concepts.
