Hello!
I recently started using the Obsidian app and was impressed by its capabilities. As a developer familiar with version control systems like Git and Mercurial, I naturally gravitated towards using the Obsidian-Git plugin for syncing my vault with a Git repository.
However, I'm curious about the options available for average users who might not have experience with Git. Are there any plans to implement more user-friendly features in Obsidian-Git to accommodate such users?
One feature that could greatly benefit less tech-savvy users is an "Easy Setup" process. This could involve a simple popup allowing users to log in with their GitHub account (or create a new one). The plugin could then automatically identify repositories linked to an Obsidian vault, enabling users to clone an existing vault or create a new one with minimal effort.
To further simplify the process, the intricacies of pull/push operations could be abstracted away. A straightforward "Sync" button would allow users to synchronize their data without needing to understand the underlying mechanics. Ideally, this could also include options for automatic synchronization enabled by default. The primary challenge I foresee is handling conflicts during syncs. For average users, a solution might involve choosing between file revisions to resolve merge conflicts simply and intuitively.
I'd appreciate any insights into whether such features are being considered and how they might be implemented to make Obsidian-Git more accessible to a broader range of users.
Thanks :D
