In this video I show you how to connect your Logseq graph to GitHub using Git. What this gives you is a way to synchronise your data across the cloud to your other devices. Whether the device is another PC or Mac or is going to be your iPhone or iPad.

This is the first video will show you how to set it up on your computer by getting a GitHub account and downloading git onto your computer. We set up a repository on the computer and also a remote repository on GitHub. Logseq can take care of the automatic commits into the local repository which also gets sent to GitHub.

I have this set up on my Mac, my iPhone and my iPad and it is trivial to have the data moved automatically from one device to another. It does take a little bit of setting up and there are a couple of things you need to be aware of in terms of limitations.

He shouldn’t have two devices open at the same time on the same document. There could be conflicts if you do this. Change in the same file at the same time will mean you had to do some conflict resolution. It’s not difficult to remember to either work on one device or the other so it’s not a deal breaker to use the system for synchronisation.

In the video I show you how to stage files and commit them using get on your own computer. It’s easy to manually push the data to GitHub if you want to but you can also let the automation do its job.

Logseq is a marvellous personal knowledge management tool with personal knowledge graphs. Basically you throw everything into the graph and make links as you go. The structure of the graph builds itself as you do this. You can either make queries and find links between pages and blocks within the graph. Or you can check out the actual graph itself and perhaps see where there are connections you hadn’t realised as you are making the graph.
