[Mobile] Sync with git on iOS for free using iSH

@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.

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
