I'm entertaining the idea of using syncthing to manage not only my Obsidian vault but also other working folders.
Has anyone have actual hands-on experience setting it up and double it as a backup mechanism?
After reading the documentation I'm planning:
1. Android <-> main Windows laptop (for Obsidian only)
2. Windows 10 <-> Windows 10 (full sync with working folders, double as backup)
3. Windows 10 <-> Linux, likely Fedora (no idea how many things will break)
4. Window 10 <-> Windows 7 on HDD (old sandbox with lots of space for backup, purely for backup if #2 is not an option)
Would this work? Is there anyone who is or was in a similar boat can advise what to look out for?
I am especially curious in actual use case, such as people who has copied the files manually over - would the sync that overwrites everything anyway?
p.s. I'm also aware of the git-crypt options for E2EE git backup, I'd love to have that but it looks like there are too many points of failure.

#TIL #git pathspec includes ways of excluding paths!
`git status -- <pathspec>` can be used to only show things on the specified path (`git status assets` will only show history of the assets directory), but you can also use it to skip over stuff you don't care about right now (`git status -- ':(exclude)assets'` will show everything BUT the assets directory)
Note the `:(exclude)` - yes, there is also a shorthand, but why would you use something less readable?)
VERY useful.
Yesterday I learned that one can sign #git commits with their ssh-key. I prefer that so much over signing with a gpg-key tbh. Even my mobile git-client WorkingCopy can do it.
Is there a way in #git to prevent a file being added to the repo, but without listing it in `.gitignore`?
Currently I'm just adding all files each commit except one particular one, but it's tedious and I have to remember not to just do `git add .`
Forgot git add, fixed it, pushed main, and celebrated again.
Looking for advice on #git (#codeberg) + #kicad, boosts welcome.
When I update a schematic and update the PCB layout it shows a list of changes -- can I get something like that to compare git commits? If I had a list of changes to symbols, footprints, refdes numbers, values, and text fields it'd go a long way towards speeding up review.
I know there is an add-in for git, but it seems to compare layouts with images; often an easier to read list of changes is more appropriate.
🚀 Oh, joy! Yet another tech article promising faster C software with a sprinkle of magic called "Dynamic Feature Detection". 🤖 Because who needs actual innovation when you can just keep refreshing your GitHub tab until the code magically writes itself? 🙄

#Git is not Github.
Is there a #git #repository with the text of the #US #constitution where people can do bug-reports and pull-requests?
