Mobile Sync Issue - Obsidian Crashes After Git Clone

Help

Hey everyone!

I started using Obsidian this year and I’m really enjoying it. Recently I began using daily notes with todo lists to better organize my tasks, which has been incredibly helpful.

Now I’m trying to sync my vault to my phone so I can: Check off todo items while on the go, and quickly reference my notes when away from my computer

I tried using the Git plugin (since I already use GitHub for backups), but after successfully cloning my private repo (using an access token), the mobile app crashes immediately - it shows the splash screen then closes. The app won’t reopen unless I reinstall it.

Key details:

Using plugins: Excalidraw, Dataview, LaTeX Suite, Iconizer

Private GitHub repository

Has anyone experienced this? Could it be:

A plugin conflict?

An issue with mobile Git implementation?

Just a bug in the current version?

I’m open to alternative sync solutions too if that would work better. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I’m also having this exact issue. Using obsidian on a pixel running Graphene.

Tried cloning via an external git app and the clone is successful but obsidian refuses to load any of the files.

When I create a new note it appears right next to the files obtained from Git.

Check out Syncthing for Obsidian

You can use a free app called “Synctrain” or $5 paid app “Mobius Sync Pro”

If you also wanted to keep a copy on your Github, sync to your Github Folder via Github Desktop or Automate it

If you’re interested check out this thread

If using Git on the computer, add “.git” to the file exclusions in Syncthing, so git history isn’t synced to iOS.
