Hi Folks , I am new in ipfs . i am creating an application that push the folder over the ipfs . I am concern for the garbage collection that it may automatically delete my content on ipfs please give me a brief over view to manage the ipfs gc

Thanks

ipfs add has --pin option it is default to true so it pins added file/directory right away. Pinned files and directories won't be removed by the GC.
