To get started with the git-annex assistant, just pick it from
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It'll prompt you to set up a folder:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[!img assistant/makerepo.png]]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then any changes you make to its folder will automatically be committed to
|
|
|
|
|
git, and synced to repositories on other computers. You can use the
|
|
|
|
|
interface to add repositories and control the git-annex assistant.

## starting on boot
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The git-annex assistant will automatically be started when you log in to
|
|
|
|
|
desktop environments like Mac OS X, Gnome, XFCE, and KDE, and the menu item
|
|
|
|
|
shown above can be used to open the webapp. On other systems, you may need
|
|
|
|
|
to start it by hand.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To start the webapp, run `git annex webapp` at the command line.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To start the assistant without opening the webapp,
|
|
|
|
|
you can run the command "git annex assistant --autostart". This is a
|
|
|
|
|
good thing to configure your system to run automatically when you log in.
