Obsidian Git - Plugin for automatic vault backup with git

I’ve had the same issue with Dropbox and icons in file names. Does Git handle them?

Tried doing this - when publishing about 65% through this message pops up,

“The remote disconnected. Check your Internet connection and try again.”

Anyone know how to fix this?

Can I use this as a backup instead of sync feature? I use iCloud already so I would just keep pushing the files. I setup git on windows and mac pcs. However I get an error saying 'failed to push some refs to [my repo].

Can’t get this to work. Installed GitHub, then the plugin. I am not a developer, but I’m not an idiot either.

Is there any chance someone has put together a tutorial for using this plugin that’s actually useful to people who are not developers? Or are we not aiming for mass adoption?

This guide looks quite good

As well as installing Github desktop you need to actually create the Git repository. This is described in the link.

does this work on iPhone?

UnknownTransportError when using command palate > git pull in android ,
how can i fix this ?

To my knowledge, Obsidian Git still uses the HTTPS protocol. You are trying to use SSH. Switch to HTTPS.

But i use ssh in my windows machine normally , i use ssh when i create my repo so i don’t know if i can’t use HHTTPS in my mobile

You can’t use SSH on mobile with the Obsidian Git plugin. It may work with Windows because you must have used GitHub Desktop to create/clone your repo.

Further reading (it’s for iOS though):

I don’t have much experience with the MGit app on Android, but it’s free and looks okay, by the way.
