**Git File Sync** is a powerful Obsidian plugin that enables seamless synchronization of individual notes with GitLab or GitHub repositories. Unlike full-vault sync solutions, it gives you granular control over what gets pushed and pulled, making it perfect for shared projects, selective backups, and cross-platform workflows.

*The Sync Status View provides a clear overview of your files, allowing you to selectively push, pull, or view diffs for modified files.*
|
|
|
|
|
|
*The Built-in Diff Viewer lets you compare local and remote changes side-by-side before syncing.*

## Key Features
|
|
|
|
### Selective Synchronization
|
|
Don't sync your whole vault. Selectively push or pull individual notes, or use batch operations for specific folders. Perfect for keeping personal notes private while sharing project files.
|
|
|
|
### Visual Sync Dashboard
|
|
A comprehensive dashboard provides a bird's-eye view of your vault's status:
|
|
- **Status Filtering**: Instantly see what's modified, new, or missing.
|
|
- **Visual Diffs**: Compare local and remote changes line-by-line before syncing.
|
|
- **Remote-Only Detection**: Identify files existing on GitLab/GitHub that aren't in your vault yet.
|
|
|
|
### Intelligent Conflict Resolution
|
|
When versions clash, Git File Sync provides a dedicated diff viewer to help you resolve conflicts manually. Choose the local version, the remote version, or merge them with confidence.
|
|
|
|
### Mobile First
|
|
Full support for Obsidian Mobile. Push and pull your notes on the go with a responsive UI designed specifically for touch interfaces.

## Usage Guide
|
|
|
|
### First-Time Setup
|
|
Once configured, you should perform an initial status check:
|
|
1. Open the **Sync Status View** by clicking the list icon in the left ribbon or using the Command Palette (`Open sync status view`).
|
|
2. Click **Refresh status**. The plugin will compare your local files with the remote repository.
|
|
3. Review the file list to see which files are synchronized, modified, or missing.
|
|
|
|
### Daily Workflow: Pushing Changes
|
|
When you finish editing a note and want to save it to Git:
|
|
- **Current Note**: Use the cloud icon in the ribbon or the command `Push current file to GitLab/GitHub`.
|
|
- **Multiple Notes**: Open the Sync Status View, use the **Modified** filter, select the files you want to sync, and click **Push selected**.
|
|
- **Context Menu**: Right-click any file in the File Explorer and select `Push to GitLab/GitHub`.
|
|
|
|
### Daily Workflow: Pulling Changes
|
|
To get the latest updates from other devices:
|
|
1. Open the Sync Status View and click **Refresh status**.
|
|
2. Files with remote updates will show as **Modified** or **Remote only**.
|
|
3. Select these files and click **Pull selected**.
|
|
4. **Warning**: Pulling will overwrite local changes. If there are conflicts, the Conflict Resolution tool will open.
|
|
|
|
### Handling Conflicts
|
|
If a file has changed both locally and on the remote server:
|
|
1. A **Conflict Resolution** window will appear.
|
|
2. The left pane shows your **Local** version, and the right pane shows the **Remote** version.
|
|
3. Review the differences.
|
|
4. Click **Keep Local** to overwrite the remote version on next push, or **Keep Remote** to accept the remote changes and overwrite your local file.
|
|
|
|
### Mobile Synchronization
|
|
On mobile devices:
|
|
- Swipe from the left to access the ribbon and open the Sync Status View.
|
|
- Use the **Pull** action to keep your mobile vault up to date before editing.
|
|
- After editing, use the **Push** action to save your changes back to the repository.

|
## Privacy and Security
|
|
|
|
- **Local Storage**: Your Personal Access Tokens (PAT) are stored locally in the plugin's data folder within your vault. They are never sent to any server other than GitLab/GitHub.
|
|
- **No Telemetry**: This plugin does not collect any data or usage analytics.
