git-sync VS Android-Password-Store

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

See https://www.passwordstore.org/#other

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.

Password manager -Android-password-store (client for pass)

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.

I use Password Store.

That's the exact setup I use on my main phone. There's also https://github.com/android-password-store/Android-Password-S..., which I use on throwaway phones.

The pass command makes this significantly easier:

There's even a decent Android client:

There are Pass-compatible apps for iOS, Android, Windows, etc. I use Password Store on Android and QtPass on Windows.
