Is it possible for git to use my removable disk as its storing place?

I have a total of 3TB files, and I am looking for a way to use my removable hard drive to store these data with version control. It would be great if it can be handled in git way. Is this possible and how to set it up?

PS: What would be the basic size requirement of this hard drive? Is 4TB enough? Ubuntu here.

It is possible and also there is no limit on git repository size.

What would be the basic size requirement of this hard drive?

The removable disk needs only to have as much space as the git repository is big but more is of course always better in case you're going to expand the repository.

how to set it up?

As long as there is a .git folder on the disk, git can handle it and it won't be able to tell whether it's operating on a local disk or a removable disk.

Why would you want to bring all of the 3TB+ under version control though?
