    I'm not sure why you're getting downvoted.

    It's different from git-annex in that it's using git itself (git-annex just uses git to track metadata/hash to facilitate large files), but there's a similarity to git-annex's 'Git-annex Assistant' in how it "any subsequent changes made to the files will be automatically committed to the remote".

    From a brief experience with git-annex, I've been finding the experience of having things automatically 'synced' to be confusing, and think it's real power may be in evolving it's user interface to be pervasive, akin to projects like https://github.com/andrewringler/git-annex-turtle
