The online system has forms to allow you to upload these, and it invokes git behind the scenes to keep everything tidy.

NOTE: when using git to path to a repository, always use user 'expo' as the login user (ssh://expo@...) even though within git you will be identified by your own ssh key name. This is because file permissions on the server require this.
So cavers wanting to do sophisticated management of their cave survey data (i.e. not just simple -uploads) willhave to use a machine on which they key is already set up. The expo laptop lives in the potato hut during expo and it is sometimes joined by the laptop 'aziraphale'. These are both loaned machines running Linux.
