Logseq points to CharlesChiuGit/Logseq-Git-Sync-101 as the default implementation for git-based syncing, but their approach relies primarily on these two extremely primitive pre- and post-commit hooks, which leave a lot to be desired from an error-handling and git history approach.
- Clean linear history based on rebasing local changes against the canonical history in github/any other git host
- Better error handling when merge conflicts do occur
- Easy one-line installation of hooks, no need to manually run
chmod +xfor each of the hooks
- Inside of your logseq directory, simply run:
# Run from the root of your logseq git repo
curl -L --remote-name-all --output-dir .git/hooks https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JasonYao/better-logseq-git-sync/main/git-hooks/{post,pre}-commit && chmod +x .git/hooks/post-commit .git/hooks/pre-commitIf you're interested, the curl flags used here mean:
-L: Follow all redirects--remote-name-all: Enables us to fetch multiple files and use the {fileName1,fileName2} syntax in the url passed into curl--output-dir .git/hooks: Sets the files fetched to be piped into the.git/hooksdirectory
