Workflow Integration

Morning Routine

/daily          # Create daily note
# ... work on notes ...
/push "Morning planning complete"

End of Day

# Complete daily reflection
/push           # Auto-message with summary

After Weekly Review

/weekly         # Run weekly review
/push "Weekly review - Week 3"

Git Operations

Standard Flow

git add . - Stage all changes
git commit -m "message" - Create commit
git pull --rebase origin main - Get remote changes
git push origin main - Push to remote

Safety Checks

Verify Git repository exists
Check for uncommitted changes
Ensure remote is configured
Validate branch exists

Conflict Handling

If conflicts occur:

Auto-resolve attempts (favor local for notes)
If manual resolution needed, guide through process
Never force push without explicit request

Security Considerations

Never Commit

Passwords or credentials
API keys
Personal identification
Financial information

Use .gitignore for

private/
credentials.md
.env
.obsidian/workspace*
.obsidian/cache
.trash/
.DS_Store

Troubleshooting

Push Rejected?

Pull first, then push again:

git pull --rebase origin main
git push origin main

Not a Git Repository?

git init
git remote add origin [URL]

Large Files Issue?

Consider Git LFS for images/attachments.

Integration

Works with:

/daily - Commit after creating daily note
/weekly - Commit after weekly review
/onboard - No git needed for context loading
Auto-commit hook for automatic saves
