obsidian-git-for-ios-setup

Usage on macOS

• Clone to your preferred location
• Copy the example settings .obsidian.mac.example to .obsidian.mac
• Create new obsidian vault in the repository's directory
• Go to settings of obsidian
• In the section About, change Override config folder to .obsidian.mac
• Change the setting the way you like it.

Usage on iOS Device

Always use lg2 instead of git when working in a-Shell*

• Download a-Shell
• Open a-Shell
• Generate your ssh keys by following GitHub's guide
• Follow GitHub's guide for adding the public key to your GitHub profile
• Use pickFolder to choose the obsidian directory. (It may not be visible, before you ever created a local vault in your obsidian app)
• Clone your repository by using lg2 clone <your-repo-link> <folder-name>
• Go into your cloned repo with cd <folder-name>
• Set your user settings (unfortunately I haven't figured out yet how to do this globally...)

lg2 config user.identityFile ~/Documents/.ssh/id_ed25519
lg2 config user.password ""
lg2 config user.name "Your Name"
lg2 config user.email "[email protected]"

Find out what your signature email is in the settings of your GitHub-Account. It's usually <id>+<username>@users.noreply.github.com. Setting another email adress can produce errors while trying to push. If you set a passphrase when you generated your keys, type it into the empty string.

Now you should be able to use most of the common git commands by using lg2 <git-command>. It is also possible to run a-Shell with shortcuts. For examples, take a look at this tutorial, which I also followed
