+I try to use git annex, but I frequently don't know if I'm doing things correctly, and my files are getting messed up.
+
+An expert guide to the full workflow would go a long way toward user-friendliness for me. The walkthrough currently has guides to a number discrete items in the workflow, but it doesn't give me a clear sense of the process.
+
+I'm always confused about when I'm supposed to be using pure git commands and when they should be git annex commands, when to commit, add, and sync --content, and when each of these is redundant.
+
+If possible, most helpful would be a guide to how you imagine the workflow from the beginning and including each step of the process, in the order you'd do it.
+
+1. I want to start keeping track of some files I have in a directory
+2. I want to copy them to a second computer.
+3. From a third place, I want to get them from the second computer.
+4. I change the files on one computer, and I want to make sure the changes get synced to the others.
+
+What are the commands you'd run at each step?
+
+Many thanks.

+I just cloned from a bare repo. The files I got aren't symlinks, but when I look inside them, they're just text SHA numbers, not the real content of the files. How can I get the real content?
