How does syncthing compair to git. Im using git currently but sycing to mobile has a tendancy to break
No problems at all.
I setup a 3-way folder sync between 3 nodes:
VPS is always on, so even if my smartphone is not connected to the internet when I log off of my desktop, the smartphone automatically fetches the updated folder from the VPS .
I haven't used git for this purpose but I'd think the process would be tedious. Manual commit, push, fetch ...
Also, I tried to set it up with Nextcloud but I couldn't get Android Logseq to use the Nextcloud folder for some reason. I don't remember the exact issue.
I might have to try syncthing then im sure i can use git for versioning my notes from just one node and retain that feature. I use logseq so on desktop git syncing is automatic.
