Sync using git repository

[chaoticryptidz]

I wish there was a feature that could sync folders with git and store the markdown files in a git repo.

Yeah, it would be great to be able to use git automatically to sync the files. I do it manually, but that way we could use it on the phone as well

IntelliJ has a feature to sync settings automatically+exiting. It's basically pulling and committing/pushing to git repo.

Hope Boostnote has that too!

I'm currently doing it like that

It would be great (🥇) if this could be done directly from the phone applications with SSH keys

Lost all my notes using dropbox sync after a re-organisatin...so a better sync options feels important and I believe we are all friends with git :)

This could probably be implemented by making a save and commit button which has a pop up dialog where you can title and give a description to the commit. This way it can autosave localy and whenever you feel like you should commit it, you would just need to press the button.
The git part of this could be implemented by using personal access tokens to authorize boostnote to commit to git. The storage folders could each have a settings menu to connect a folder up to git.
You could probably also have a way to configure auto export as HTML/PDF/Markdown whenever a document is commmitted.

Just a idea for a implementation of this feature. Wish it could be implemented.

I'm very excited about this feature; if you give me a code start, I can try implementing this :)

+1 for this feature. I also employ wiki.js which stores markdown in a Github or Gogs repro as *.md files and maps them via MongoDB. Mention this as it maybe an interesting integration.

This feature would be really nice but unfortuantly I have no idea how to do it...

What is the current status of this issue? I'd love to have this feature, or even work on it myself
