Problems with Obsidian git?

[thibaultmol]

Hi, the Readme mentions that no other sync solutions should be used with livesync.
But I was planning to use the Obsidian-git plugin as a backup solution (so just FROM Obsidian to a git repository). I'm guessing this would be fine to use in the same vault that livesync was running, right?

Thank you for asking me!
I was reminded that there was too less documentation.

The root of this limitation is that files being processed by other solutions may be detected by this plug-in, and it causes file corruption.
This is the possibility, but not every time. And, it can be avoided by thinning detection.

If we use periodic-sync and Batch database update, it can be used with Git. (Actually, I use FolderSync for backup on Android.)

Is it possible to do a once a day git sync? Then continue replication. Can that be part of a routine?

Sorry, I missed this.
This is possible. However, ensure that Skip patterns are configured to include \/.git/. (Default value is already so)

For my usecase I would have to use live sync in a real-time mode actually

It will be ok, if you don't sync .git dir by the LiveSync.
And, if you want to be safer, you can temporarily turn the LiveSync off (easy to do with Ctrl+P and Toggle LiveSync).

The plan is to have a sync TO git every 5 minutes or so. So I guess I'll just exclude .git then

Yes, I think it will work fine!
