Looking to try obsidian, but the sync seems expensive. Do you pay for sync, or are there other alternatives? (self.obsidianmd)

I have iOS, and use MacBook/Linux.

EDIT: Wow! It’s impressive how many different ways there are to achieve this. I tried obsidian git, but couldn’t get it to work as expected. Remotely Save is working perfect! Obsidian flew under my radar all these days because I thought sync was the only way. I’m looking into plugins and there’s literally a thousand plugins. It’s kinda overwhelming tbh. I’ll make another post for plug-in recommendations and workflow setup advice. Thank you all!

I use git as it even has a native interface; you only need to init the vault as a repo yourself. Then you can host that repository wherever you want, be it your own VPS, your local server, your local computer, a Git hosting service (e.g. github, gitea).

So to speak, what you get by Obsidian sync for your money is not having to deal with the hassle on hosting it yourself.

So I tried setting up obsidian-git, but couldn't get it to work. I did it on mobile. I did a git init repository, and it said it did. Then I created a branch, and it said it did. I tried pushing it to github, it said no remotes defined. I then defined remotes using the command, and it said success. However, I still can't see it in the list of remotes, or see the branches, or set remote branch to push to. I gave up and used Remotely Save. Did I miss a step?

What's the output from git remote -v ?
