Is git required for syncorg? #17

Closed dwrz closed 7 years ago

dwrz commented 7 years ago

Apologies if this is obvious -- but is git required for syncorg?

I am getting "Path does not exist or is not a valid repository." when trying to log in via SSH.

Thanks! David

I'm getting the same result, also when trying to log in via SSH.

I do have git installed but can't see any mention of having to place the files under git version control, rather that mobile-org-push needs to be setup and configured which I have (I used to use MobileOrg).

I've tried pointing SyncOrg at both /home/[user]/Dropbox/org where my org files are located and to /home/[user]/Dropbox/MobileOrg where they are staged by mobile-org-push but get the same problem with both.

This is a gap in documentation. There needs to be some instruction in the README on how to install and configure SyncOrg, and that instruction needs to assume zero knowledge of git. I'd add it myself and send a PR, but I'm just as unclear as @dwrz and @slackline on just what is required.

Edit: I am using the exact same settings which work in MobileOrg for syncing via SSH.

I've added some examples in the app for the git sync. And now, git synchronization is not mandatory, you can use any folder to keep your note (eventually synchronized by an external mechanism).
