Setting Up GitHub-Hosted Obsidian Vault on Mobile

Here's a step-by-step guide to access your GitHub-hosted Obsidian vault on your mobile phone:

Prerequisites

• Obsidian mobile app installed

• GitHub account with your vault repository

• Git client app for mobile (I recommend Working Copy)

Steps

• Install Working Copy

• Download "Working Copy" from your app store (available on iOS and Android)

• Open the app and sign in to your GitHub account

• Clone Your Repository

• In Working Copy, tap the "+" button to add a new repository

• Select "Clone Repository" and find your Obsidian vault repository

• Tap on the repository and select "Clone"

• Wait for the repository to download to your device

• Set Up File Sharing

• In Working Copy, navigate to your cloned repository

• Tap the share icon (or settings, depending on your version)

• Enable "Share as Folder" or "Enable Files App Integration"

• Open the Vault in Obsidian

• Launch Obsidian on your mobile device

• Tap "Open folder as vault"

• Navigate to your Working Copy repositories through the file browser

• Select your vault folder

• Configure Sync Settings

• In Working Copy, you can manually sync changes:

Pull: To get the latest changes from GitHub

• Commit and push: To send your changes back to GitHub

• Daily Workflow

• Before working: Pull changes in Working Copy

• After making changes: Commit and push in Working Copy

Tips

• Set up Working Copy to automatically fetch changes when opened

• Consider setting up a schedule for syncing to avoid conflicts

• Be mindful of network conditions when syncing large vaults
