  • Joplin – open-source note-taking and to-do application with sync
    15 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 5 Jul 2023
    For those that want to crosslink anything and everything I suggest Logseq[1]. Its journal and graph view are fantastic. And it has many iseful plugins. I use it along with git-sync [2] and syncthing [3] now I can sync the notes across my work, personal desktops and my mobile.

  • [Guide] Obsidian Git Sync on app opening Android
    5 projects | /r/ObsidianMD | 12 Feb 2023
    I’m using almost the same approach to automatically sync my vault between my devices (Git, Termux, Tasker). The main difference is, that I'm using the great git-sync script by Simon Thum for syncing. In the past I had some problems with a simple script that included only git pull, commit and push. With the git-sync script I now have less problems. Nevertheless you can't avoid to have conflicts if you or plugins edit the same files at the same time. I have documented my setup in this GitHub repository.
  • NOOB Question: Are my settings being backed up to iCloud? Does anything exist like dotfiles? Brand new to macos. Go easy.
    2 projects | /r/mac | 9 Sep 2022
    Before I came to macos I was using stow to keep all my dotfiles in one place. Then they were being copied nightly to a private github repo with git-sync which, as you know, is nice for versioning. I also had the central dotfile folder in a syncthing folder, so all my configs were always the same on any machine I used. If I update anything on one computer, it's changed on the other automatically. I also have a VPS that's participating, and somewhat acting as an always-on central sync server to keep everything recent.
  • Any notes app that syncs?
    1 project | /r/fossdroid | 15 Jun 2022
    I use vim and git with git-sync addon (I think it's this one: https://github.com/simonthum/git-sync). I don't care too much about mobile, but I also have configured vim via Termux on my Android phone.
  • Dotfile manager like git
    2 projects | /r/linuxquestions | 27 Nov 2021
    I use git bare, it works great: syncs only the files I explicitly add, allows to place git repos as children of $HOME, and I get to sync changes with a single command: you can use an alias to rebase, commit and push or something like git-sync.
  • Is it possible to make a script that calls to a private github repo to update files on my system?
    2 projects | /r/git | 15 Sep 2021
    This is not enough if you want to update from multiple machines. Again u/blevlabs I really suggest you use something like https://github.com/simonthum/git-sync to do this, as it gracefully handles a lot of the corner cases that you might want to implement with something like this.

  • Bitwarden: Free, open-source password manager

    There is no "database", it's just a bunch of GPG encrypted files synced with git.

    For Android there is https://github.com/android-password-store/Android-Password-S....

    For Windows the only thing (Pass4Win) i found is unmaintained.

  • Joplin – open-source note-taking and to-do application with sync

    These are the types of applications that I really love. It stores the data in a cloud service that already has enough free capacity for say a notes app. It's like how we can store pass(1) passwords on a git repository (Sync it with Github) and use that as the destination of Android Password Store[1], and you have a easy password manager.

    Since I store most of my passwords using https://www.passwordstore.org/, I have used mobile with https://github.com/android-password-store/Android-Password-S.... I'm happy enough with it. Sucks for getting anything into consoles, for obvious reasons.

  • GitJournal: Mobile first Markdown notes synchronized with Git

    For encrypted secrets in git I'd suggest looking at sops and password store:

    https://github.com/mozilla/sops

    https://github.com/android-password-store/Android-Password-S...

    Both are extremely useful secrets oriented git tools with support for things like PGP encryption. Both will encrypt with multiple keys too, making sharing relatively easy. The android pass app even manages SSH keys for pushing and pulling. There may be good inspiration in those repos, or even code you can borrow.

    Also, thanks so much for making this: it is elegant and lovely. Keep it up!

  • Ask HN: Why should I trust password managers?
    13 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 17 Feb 2022
    In addition, plasma-pass, qtpass, android password store (https://github.com/android-password-store/Android-Password-S...) are nice as well. Throw in a NFC Yubikey and OpenKeychain on android, then you can lock them with hardware keys. Since pass uses git, syncing can be done to a private repo on your home network or even just a cheap usb stick.
  • Clever uses of pass, the Unix password manager
    22 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 16 Dec 2021
    Oh dammit. I have stopped using Gopass and started rewriting pass just for that reason - missing AGE encryption. At least I have learned something new and I feel better while my fuzzy finder UI instead of their TUI. However, big kudos to Gopass team for awesome work and really useful tool.

    Before I start working on next project... Do you recognize any mobile app, which could replace PasswordStore.app for Android but with AGE support?

  • Pass: The standard Unix password manager
    22 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 13 Apr 2021
    I'm thinking about adding encrypted file support to my pass wrapper, p, but I've not really found a good argument to support breaking mobile apps (such as https://github.com/android-password-store/Android-Password-S...).

    You'd have to manually look up the entries in a lookup table to resolve obfuscated names back to readable names... Or upstream support for whatever format is devised. I dunno.

What are some alternatives?

pass-tomb - A pass extension that helps you keep the whole tree of passwords encrypted inside a Tomb.

termux-scripts - Termux scripts to simplify syncing of Git repositories with Android devices
