The git-annex assistant creates a synchronised folder on each of your
 | 
						|
OSX and Linux computers, Android devices, removable drives, NAS appliances,
 | 
						|
and cloud services. The contents of the folder are the same everywhere.
 | 
						|
It's very easy to use, and has all the power of git and git-annex.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
