VAULT SYNC
A private, Git-backed Obsidian vault that syncs desktop, laptop, and iOS on a five-minute cycle, with a written onboarding guide for each new device.

// problem
Keep one set of notes on every device without a paid sync service or a third party holding the data.
// constraints
- Private repo only.
- Must work on iOS.
// approach
- Obsidian Git plugin pulls on open and commits and pushes every five minutes.
- Fine-grained GitHub tokens scoped to the one private repo for mobile devices.
- Plain-language runbook covers new devices and merge-conflict recovery.
// outcome
Notes follow me everywhere, and every change has history.
