# Git Setup
|
|
|
|
Initialize git in the vault to get full history and protect against bad writes.
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Initialize
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd "$VAULT_PATH"
|
|
git init
|
|
git add -A
|
|
git commit -m "Initial vault scaffold"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## .gitignore
|
|
|
|
The root `.gitignore` in this repo already covers the right exclusions:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
.obsidian/workspace.json
|
|
.obsidian/workspace-mobile.json
|
|
.smart-connections/
|
|
.obsidian-git-data
|
|
.trash/
|
|
.DS_Store
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`workspace.json` changes constantly as you move panes around. Excluding it keeps the diff clean.

## Obsidian Git Plugin
|
|
|
|
After installing the plugin (see `plugins.md`):
|
|
|
|
Settings > Obsidian Git:
|
|
- Auto backup interval: **15 minutes**
|
|
- Auto backup after file change: on
|
|
- Push on backup: on (if you have a remote)
|
|
- Commit message: `vault: auto backup {{date}}`
|
|
|
|
This runs silently in the background. You get a full history of every note without thinking about it.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Remote (Optional)
|
|
|
|
To back up to GitHub:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git remote add origin https://github.com/yourname/your-vault
|
|
git push -u origin main
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Keep the repo private if the vault contains personal notes.
