Feat: Obsidian Sync Ignores git repos within vault

Help
1

Heya Obsidian Team, love the app etc.

I’ve got a couple of git repositories stored with my Obsidian Vault for programming projects I’m working on. This is great to manage markdown files and link in/out of these projects, but an issue when Obsidian sync and git get into fights.

Proposed solution

Detect a .git within a folder, and don’t sync that folder or any sub-folders. Probably opt-in.

Current workaround (optional)

Manually excluding folders. This is possible, but I haven’t found a good way to automate… Potentially some fancy trick with gnustow or similar.

Hi!

Something may be strange with your setup.

Obsidian Sync ignores all hidden files and folders except for the settings .obsidian one. I’ve had a .git directory in my vault the entire time using Obsidian Sync (~4.5 years now) without issue.
