Sync

Commit and push all vault changes to your git remote.

/sync stages every change in your vault, generates a descriptive commit message grouped by vault zone, and pushes to origin/main.

Usage

/sync              # Commit and push all changes
/sync --status     # Preview what would be committed (no changes made)
/sync --dry-run    # Preview the commit message before committing

Your vault must be a git repository with a configured remote for /sync to work. If you haven’t set that up yet, run git init in your vault root and add a remote with git remote add origin <url>.

/sync is automatically called at the end of the /chain pipeline, so your vault is backed up after every full processing run without any extra steps.

Commit message format

/sync generates a structured commit message based on what actually changed, grouping modifications by vault zone:

sync: +12 knowledge notes (the-road-less-stupid), update daily 2026-04-04, add task to inbox

Zones changed:
- knowledge: absorbed 12 notes from the-road-less-stupid
- daily: updated 2026-04-04 daily note
- business: added task to inbox

Run /sync at the end of any session where you’ve added or modified vault notes. It takes only a few seconds and ensures you never lose work.

If git push fails because the remote has changes you don’t have locally, /sync will ask you to pull first and resolve any conflicts before retrying. It will never force push.
