## first run
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To get started with the git-annex assistant, just pick it from
 | 
						|
your system's list of applications.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
[[!img assistant/menu.png]]
 | 
						|
[[!img assistant/osx-app.png]]
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
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.
