A new way to sync your Obsidian vault
- A new Obsidian plugin has been included in the list of community plugins, allowing users to sync their Obsidian vault with a GitHub repository.
- The plugin was developed to provide a simple syncing solution for Obsidian users who did not want to rely on complex Bash scripts or Git executables.
- Unlike other existing plugins, this new plugin utilizes the GitHub REST API to manage repository syncing without the need for the Git executable.
- The plugin allows users to sync remote and local files with HTTP requests, offering a more straightforward approach to syncing.
- One limitation of this approach is its tie to GitHub, restricting syncing to GitHub repositories and possibly posing future challenges with the API limitations.
- The plugin also includes conflict resolution capabilities, where users can visualize and resolve conflicts between local and remote files.
- To create a conflict resolution interface, the plugin uses Obsidian's APIs and the CodeMirror library for editing conflicts.
- For mobile compatibility, the plugin features a separate view for conflict resolution inspired by Visual Studio Code's conflict resolution interface.
- Future plans for the plugin include adding features like selective sync and file history, similar to the official sync plugin from Obsidian.
- Overall, the developer aims to enhance the plugin's functionality while also working on bug fixes and maintenance tasks.
