How I sync my vault across devices

1

Obsidian.md

In the last few days, I’ve trying to improve my productivity and with it my note-taking system. Over the last couple of years, I've tried different tools, from Notion, Evernote, Google Docs, Google Keep, etc. In the end and after many hesitations, research and testing, I have concluded that the best software for me is Obsidian.md. Obsidian is a handy little program that uses links to connect notes. It is based on Markdown, which is a lightweight language used for writing and formatting plain text documents.

GitHub

One advantage that Obsidian offers over many other applications is that it is completely free but within certain nuances. That is, for personal use it is 100% free, you don't need to register, and it offers access to many plugins and community support. Thanks to this, the fact that the possibility of syncing your notes through Obsidian is a paid feature was not a drawback. This is because I have decided to use git, software for tracking changes in any set files, and GitHub as the cloud-based git repository hosting service.

GitHub Desktop

First of all, I created the repo on GitHub. Afterward, on my pc I installed Obsidian and with Gitkraken, a graphical interface for git, I cloned the repo to my local machine. For anyone who wants to build a similar system, there is no need to use Gitkraken, you may directly use git from the command line as well as other graphical interfaces such as GitHub Desktop or Sourcetree. Then, the only thing left to do was to use my repository as the base folder for the Obsidian vault.

BitBucket

Next, after downloading Working Copy will have to configure the credentials for the git host (GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab…) where you have the repo. Once you are done, clone the repo. Subsequently, from Working Copy, open the repo, select the “share menu” and click on the Setup Folder Sync option. Under the On My iPad section there should be an Obsidian folder that contains the Obsidian vault folder which you need to select. This step is crucial because it’s the way to sync the repo with the vault.
