AH that’s the problem. I don’t see Obsidian Git under Plugin Options. I installed it from within Obsidian; perhaps a manual installation is called for?

I reinstalled it, and all is well. Thanks, @JonathanBuchh!

No problem @skeskali. Sometimes you have to restart the app to see the settings for a new plugin (I’ve only had to do it for Obsidian Git).

13

For le the settings appeared only when my vault had github files in it.

14

Ok so I had an error for obsidian config files again.

Basically, sync with github between two windows computer.

Here the error :

After installing Git client.
And input the environment variables to System path
Then the plugin work ok.

16

Already did both :confused: thanks !

17

Did you restart your computer after these 2 steps?

18

Yes still have workspace sync issue after reboot.

19

Then i dont know…

21

So you have obsidian git, git client, and the git hub repository set up but you’re experiencing conflicts when pushing changes from your local vault to your remote repository? I may need to update the initial forum post to add the .gitignore file. What does your remote repository look like on Github right now? Is it possible to display an image of that in this thread?

22

I have stash my git folder on my second computer. It works so far…

Thanks

23

I got the same problem without the setting option.

24

Have you tried restarting Obsidian? That usually works for me.

25

I’v tried that, but it didn’t work. Thanks for your suggestion and I will try later again.

26

Try open developer console (ctrl + shift + i). See if your problem is the same.
If it is the same, then you need to install git client and add environment variables to system path

27

The problem appear again :confused:

When you’re committing your changes are you using the obsidian git plugin or are you using git bash? You should be committing and pushing using the obsidian git plugin. It looks like you’re manually committing and pushing which may be why you’re running into issues?

29

How to do steps 9 and 10.
I am not able to find any toggles for switching it off after plugin is installed

30

Only the plugin :confused:
