Syncing with Git?

[zef (Zef Hemel)]

Ok, I just reviewed and tested the linked guide. There’s some things there that are outdated and I’ve updated them now.

Backup your space to Github

Personally I use a private Github repository for backing up my space. This is how I set this up. Requirements A (free) Github account A private Github repository to keep your space files Create a token We will authenticate with Github via HTTPS and a personal access token. This is relatively safe and simple to setup. Go to your Personal Access Tokens page, and Generate a new token (beta) scoped to your repository. Select a expiry date far in the future Select: “Only selected repositories” …

What was missing:

1. When you shell into your container you have to make sure you su as the same user as which silverbullet is running, this may be root or silverbullet so you need to run su silverbullet before running all the git commands to avoid permission errors. This is likely where your issues come from. To fix it, you can probably simply chown -R silverbullet /space
2. The guide was still linking to the Git plug, which is deprecated. I’ve now updated to recommend installing the Git library with the library manager instead.
3. There was a step missing updating the origin upstream, which turned out to be necessary for my setup as I tested it. Added this too.

Btw, I’m assuming/hoping you misplaced this topic and you’re actually running v2, is that right?
