Integrating git-annex and your file manager provides an easy way to select
annexed files to get or drop.
## nautilus
Recent git-annex comes with built-in nautilus integration. Just pick the
action from the menu.

[[!img assistant/downloadnotification.png]]
This is set up by making simple scripts in
`~/.local/share/nautilus/scripts`, with names like "git-annex get"
## your file manager here

## general
If your file manager can run a command on a file, it should be easy to
integrate git-annex with it. A simple script will suffice:
#!/bun/sh
git-annex get --notify-start --notify-finish "$@"
The --notify-start and --notify-stop options make git-annex display a
desktop notification. This is useful to give the user an indication that
their action took effect. Desktop notifications are currently only
implenented for Linux.
