⚠ This repository is archived

This plugin is now merged into the main plugin.

There won't be any updates here. Please install the Obsidian Git plugin instead.

Obsidian Git Mobile

This is the mobile version of the obsidian-git plugin. It is the same plugin except of some tweaks to fix the import of node APIs.

Please file bugs or feature requests on the origin repo.

Caution

This plugin is currently in beta.

Restrictions of the mobile version

I am using isomorphic-git, which is a re-implementation of git in JavaScript, because you cannot use native git on Android or iOS.

SSH authentication is not supported (isomorphic-git issue)
Repo size is limited, because of memory restrictions
Rebase merge strategy is not supported
Submodules are not supported

Installation and clone a repo

Create new vault
Change config directory in Settings -> About
Install Community Plugin BRAT
Install Vinzent03/obsidian-git-isomorphic from BRAT
If cloning private repo, set password/personal access token and username in Settings -> Obsidian Git Mobile
Execute clone repo command
Reload plugin

Performance

Setup: iPad Pro M1 with a repo of 3000 files reduced from 10000 markdown files

The only really time consuming part is to check the whole working directory for file changes. So checking all files for changes to stage takes 03:40 min. Other commands like pull, push and commit are very fast (1-5 seconds). So the best way is to stage individual directories in which you have worked and commit only staged files after it. The initial clone took 00:25 min.

If you find this plugin useful and would like to support its development, you can support me on Ko-fi.
