Hybrid Git Sync

English｜中文

🚀 An adaptive, cross-platform Git synchronization solution for Obsidian.
Enjoy high-performance Native Git execution on Desktop alongside a lightweight, zero-dependency Git Provider API on Mobile.

🌟 Introduction & Design Philosophy

Managing an Obsidian vault with Git across different operating systems usually requires distinct synchronization strategies due to platform-specific constraints. Hybrid Git Sync bridges this gap seamlessly by implementing an Adaptive Sync Engine.

Instead of applying a single approach to all environments, this plugin intelligently splits the synchronization workload based on the device you are currently using:

• 💻 On Desktop (Windows/Mac/Linux): It invokes your local Native Git client. This guarantees maximum execution speed, reliability, and full support for complex repository histories or large assets.
• 📱 On Mobile (iOS/Android): It bypasses mobile OS limitations by interacting directly with cloud REST APIs (GitHub / GitLab / Gitea). It reads and writes changes via lightweight HTTPS requests without requiring any local Git binary environments on your phone.

✨ Key Features

• 🔄 Adaptive Hybrid Engine: Runs full native Git commands on your PC and shifts to clean, memory-efficient API requests on your mobile devices.
• 🔒 Privacy Centric: Your Personal Access Tokens (PAT) are stored locally within Obsidian's secure configuration storage. No data ever leaves your device or touches intermediate servers.
• ⚡ Conflict Resolution: Built-in smart synchronization logic helps track updates, reducing the risk of overwriting files during simultaneous multi-device editing.
• 💰 100% Free & Open Source: A reliable, customizable, and fully self-hosted alternative for universal knowledge base backups.

📦 Installation

1. Inside Obsidian, navigate to Settings -> Community Plugins.

⚙️ Quick Setup Guide

Setting up Hybrid Git Sync takes less than 3 minutes:

1. Repository Setup: Initialize your Obsidian vault as a Git repository on your desktop and push it to your hosting platform (GitHub, GitLab, or Gitea).
2. Generate Token: Navigate to your Git provider's settings and create a Personal Access Token (PAT) with full repo read/write scopes.
3. Mobile Configuration: Open the plugin settings on your mobile device, enter your Repository URL and the generated Token. Tap Sync to initiate your first transfer!
