The git-annex assistant creates a synchronised folder on each of your
 | 
						|
OSX and Linux  computers, Android devices, removable drives, 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.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## installation
 | 
						|

						|

## colophon
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The git-annex assistant was [crowd funded on
 | 
						|
Kickstarter](http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/joeyh/git-annex-assistant-like-dropbox-but-with-your-own/).
 | 
						|
[[/assistant/Thanks]] to all my backers. This kickstarter is now closed,
 | 
						|
and there is a new home-made crowdfunding project to support the project
 | 
						|
for 2013-2014 [here](https://campaign.joeyh.name/).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
I blog about my work on git-annex and the assistant on a daily basis
 | 
						|
in [[this_blog|/devblog]]. Follow along!
