I use a cron job to sync my [[Obsidian]] notes to a private GitHub repository every day. It’s just a simple script to do a git commit && git push, and it works mostly fine. However, the .github directory synced to iCloud significantly slows down the Obsidian startup speed on mobile.
I just discovered [icloud-nosync](
GitHub - nicolodiamante/icloud-nosync: Take control of your iCloud Drive files with iCloud NoSync—the ultimate utility for effortless sync and management! Get the edge you need to stay organised and up–to–date.
), which can prevent the .git folder from syncing. The way it works is by replacing the actual folder with a symbolic link and renaming the folder with a .tmp extension, which prevents the folder from syncing to iCloud.
