# Git Auto-Sync Setup for Second Brain
Automatically sync vault changes between server, desktop, and phone using Git.
## How It Works
```
Desktop/Phone Changes → Git Repo ← Server Auto-Commits
All devices sync
```
## Server Setup
### 1. Install Auto-Sync Service
```bash
sudo cp /workspace/second-brain/git-auto-sync.service /etc/systemd/system/
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable git-auto-sync.service
sudo systemctl start git-auto-sync.service
# Verify
sudo systemctl status git-auto-sync.service
```
### 2. Watch Auto-Commits
```bash
# View logs
sudo journalctl -fu git-sync
# Example output:
# [2026-04-26 07:45:30] Changes detected:
# M 03-learnings/architecture.md
# A 00-inbox/new-idea.md
# ✓ Committed
# ✓ Pushed to remote
```
## Desktop Setup
### 1. Clone the Vault
```bash
# First time
git clone ssh://user@server:/workspace/second-brain ~/Obsidian/second-brain
# Or if using Local Sync, configure it to pull from this git repo
```
### 2. Pull Latest Changes
```bash
cd ~/Obsidian/second-brain
git pull
```
### 3. Auto-Pull (Optional)
**macOS/Linux:**
```bash
# Add to crontab (every 5 minutes)
crontab -e
*/5 * * * * cd ~/Obsidian/second-brain && git pull -q 2>/dev/null
```
**Or use a Git hook:**
```bash
cat > .git/hooks/post-merge << 'EOF'
#!/bin/bash
# Auto-sync after merge
echo "✓ Vault synced"
EOF
chmod +x .git/hooks/post-merge
```
## Phone Setup
### With Obsidian + Local Sync Plugin
1. **On Server:**
- Make sure git repo is accessible (or use Gitea)
2. **On Phone:**
- Install "Local Sync" plugin in Obsidian
- Configure it to sync with: `ssh://user@server:/workspace/second-brain`
- Or configure with Gitea URL
3. **On Desktop:**
- Same setup, pull regularly
---
## Sync Strategies
### Strategy 1: Git-Only (Recommended)
- Server auto-commits all changes
- Desktop: `git pull` manually or via cron
- Phone: Local Sync pulls from server git
```bash
# Desktop cron (every 5 min)
*/5 * * * * cd ~/Obsidian/second-brain && git pull -q
```
### Strategy 2: Obsidian + Local Sync
- Desktop + Phone: Use Obsidian's Local Sync plugin
- Server: Git auto-sync mirrors changes
**Advantage:** Real-time sync on devices, server keeps git history
### Strategy 3: Git + SSH Pull
- Desktop/Phone: SSH git clone
- Pull before opening Obsidian
- Push changes after editing
```bash
#!/bin/bash
# pre-open-obsidian.sh
cd ~/Obsidian/second-brain
git pull
open ~/Obsidian/second-brain # macOS
```
---
## Remote Repository (Gitea / GitHub)
### Configure Remote Push
**If using Gitea on your server:**
```bash
# On server
cd /workspace/second-brain
git remote add gitea ssh://git@gitea-server/your-repo.git
# Verify
git remote -v
# Push existing commits
git push -u gitea master
```
**Then on desktop/phone:**
```bash
git clone ssh://git@gitea-server/your-repo.git
```
---
## Monitoring Syncs
### View Recent Commits
```bash
cd /workspace/second-brain
git log --oneline -10
```
### Check Sync Status
```bash
# See what's staged but not committed
git status
# See changes in last hour
git log --since="1 hour ago" --oneline
```
### Manual Sync Test
```bash
# On desktop: make a change
echo "test" >> 00-inbox/test.md
git add .
git commit -m "Test sync"
git push
# On server: should auto-pull (if configured)
cd /workspace/second-brain
git log --oneline -1
```
---
## Conflict Resolution
If both server and desktop edit the same file:
```bash
# Server (auto-sync) will get it first
# Desktop pulls and sees conflict marker:
<<<<<<< HEAD
desktop version
=======
server version
>>>>>>> origin/master
# Manually resolve, then:
git add .
git commit -m "Resolved conflict"
git push
```
---
## Disable Auto-Sync (if needed)
```bash
sudo systemctl stop git-auto-sync.service
sudo systemctl disable git-auto-sync.service
```
---
## Performance Notes
- **Poll interval:** 30 seconds (adjustable)
- **Commit overhead:** ~50ms per check
- **Memory:** ~64MB (limited)
- **CPU:** ~10% max
