Workflow Integration

Morning Routine

/daily # Create daily note

Git Operations

Standard Flow

• git add .

• Stage all changes

• git commit -m "message"

• Create commit

• git pull --rebase origin main

• Get remote changes

• git push origin main

• Push to remote

Safety Checks

• Verify Git repository exists

• Check for uncommitted changes

• Ensure remote is configured

• Validate branch exists

Conflict Handling

If conflicts occur:

• Auto-resolve attempts (favor local for notes)

• If manual resolution needed, guide through process

• Never force push without explicit request

Security Considerations

Never Commit

• Passwords or credentials

• API keys

• Personal identification

• Financial information

Use .gitignore for

private/ credentials.md .env .obsidian/workspace* .obsidian/cache .trash/ .DS_Store

Troubleshooting

Push Rejected?

Pull first, then push again:

git pull --rebase origin main git push origin main

Not a Git Repository?

git init git remote add origin [URL]

Large Files Issue?

Consider Git LFS for images/attachments.

Integration

Works with:

• /daily

• Commit after creating daily note

• /weekly

• Commit after weekly review

• /onboard

• No git needed for context loading

• Auto-commit hook for automatic saves
