Yes I'm aware where Git came from.

Large files don’t work with git, as it always stores the whole history on your drive.

Not any more. That's only the default. Git supports sparse checkouts and blobless checkouts both of which only get a subset of a repo. And actually it has supported --depth for as long as I remember.
