If you're looking for a mobile client to go along with this checkout GitJournal [0]. It has basic support for wiki style links and backlinks, but I'm still working on the graph support.

If anyone's looking for a mobile notes app that syncs with git, I highly encourage checking out GitJournal. I used it for a bit before building a personal app specific to my workflow.

Are you still bundling libgit? I remember checking this project out and was impressed you got the setup to work with flutter. It's actually a reason I switched to react native because there were pure JS git implementations [0].

Yup. I'm still bundling libgit2, it took a lot of effort to get it to work.

I've been working on dart-git https://github.com/GitJournal/dart-git and it's been slowly replacing most of libgit2. Eventually I would like to remove libgit2 completely and only have libssh2.

I would love to know more about your workflow.

Logseq is impossible without isomorphic-git, such a great project!

Seems like a nice idea but it's very expensive for the feature set, Pro is on the same price level as OmniFocus but can do far less... It also misses outlining support, which logseq has.

(Tried it out on iOS out of interest anyway and it failed to even clone my repo, as it's on a local network, iOS asked for local network access permissions and then it got confused saying "Exception: fatal: remote "origin" already exists")

Sorry. I've been refactoring the code for multi-repo and multi-remote handling and I introduced a bug in the process.

If you can clear all the app's data and try again it should work. I've fixed the bug, but I still have to publish the fix on iOS.

Why not just use Joplin [1]... that use tags and folders, can rsync almost anywhere, and can be encrypted at rest?

For two main reasons -

1. Git support - Having the history of all your changes is wonderful. I never have to worry about a note being accidentally deleted. It's also great for collaboration.

2. Mobile App - Joplin's mobile app really leaves a lot to be desired and is lacking a lot of essential features. Eg - Browsing your notes in a grid view similar to Google Keep, or linking your notes together using the wiki link format.
