My goal for this month is to get more people using the git-annex assistant, and fix issues that might be blocking you from using it. To do this, I'd like to get an idea about whether you're already using it, or what's keeping you from using it.

If you use git-annex at the command line and have no reason to use the assistant, please instead fill in this poll on behalf of less technically adept friends or family -- what's preventing you from introducing them to the assistant?

I'm using the assistant! (3%)

Perceived recent increase of bug reports and thus sitting it out. (0%)


Initially the lack of direct-mode. Now concerns about the safety of direct mode. Perhaps after the next release. (11%)


I haven't always well understood the differences between commandline operation & the assistant, so the differences would confuse me, and I found the command line more understandable & less scary. Now trying to learn to like & trust the assistant. :) (4%)

Would be nice to exclude subfolders from the gui or through a config file (0%)
