Great screencast! There is one thing that intrigues me: since you simply uncompress the binary in some folder, how does gitannex figures out where the binary lives there?

<p>In the screencast, I run git-annex after unpacking it, and this lets it register where it's installed at.</p>
<p>So it is important to run git-annex after you unpack it.</p>
Where is it registered?http://git-annex.branchable.com/videos/git-annex_assistant_lan/comment_3_d43ee0a335c2f010b437cf28437455c2/Alan Schmitt2014-06-11T11:27:02Z2014-06-11T11:27:02Z
I'm curious: how do you register it? Does it only work on Linux? (I've had to add paths to my setup under OS X, so it would be great if there was such a simpler way.)

Running git-annex will also register it on OSX. The registration just consists of making a ~/.ssh/git-annex-shell that runs the real git-annex-shell. The assistant detects when it needs to use that wrapper when setting up a repository.
