@DummyME … I tried, but could not make this work. I cannot find / mount the right folder in ish where I can do the push.
Could you pls. provide some more details?

UPDATE: When I use “Setup synced directory” at least I can see a folder to mount … But according to the documentation this seems an not so efficient and obsolete option. When I use “Link external directory” I don’t see any folder to mount.

Update II: found the answer myself: In working copy you have the option for the project where to store the .git - it has to be “Application”. Then I choose “Link external directory” in working copy. Then I can mount the obsidian folder and .git will be in there.

Yes, either you make .git into the application folder or push/pull in WorkiingCopy directory!
I used to push and pull using the Working Copy directory itself.

Also, I would suggest using a-shell over iSH. iSH is pretty slow.
a-shell is quite fast and you can have shortcuts as well!!

I try to do a shortcut in a-shell for mount obsidian vault folder, and commit and push changes, but it seems pickFolder can not put into shortcuts, I should pickFolder in a-shell, and run the shortcut, but when I relaunch a-shell, I need pickFolder again, could you help me?

You need to use jump followed by the bookmark name.

thanks, it works.

26

would you mind sharing the shortcut? :slight_smile:

It works like a charm with Obsidian Git plugin + iSH

You can do all the git commands right from your Obsidian app on iPhone

You can use the method descriped until step 5. “In Obsidian” Restart Obsidian. Then you can install the PlugIn “Git”. This PlugIn let’s you automatically pull and push you changes in Obsidian and it works perfectly fine with the method described!
