Problem Sync and Git

[kenneito]

Hello,

I have some projects versioned by Git in synced folder, I found out that Git does not work too well because Sync is trying to sync the files (e.g. checkout another branch after committing). I know I can pause the sync but then it is a burden to turn it on/off every time (and sometimes I forget). Does anyone have any solutions?

 

Thanks!

@kenneito Not 100% sure what exactly happens in your case, but in general when you encounter some compatibility issue with other apps there are 2 ways in Sync to workaround it:

1. IgnoreList to ignore files that your want Sync not to touch
2. FileDelayConfig to force Sync to not to touch file for some time after it changes (based on extension of a file).

I think Sync is accessing the files with write permission which makes git cannot modify them. How do I use the FileDelayConfig option? I can't find it anywhere.

Nevermind I found it. (Can you not edit posts?)

It is not too useful for me since there are a lot of different kinds of files monitored in git. It would be better to have the same setting but for a directory.

@kenneito All users should be able to edit their own posts. Sorry, wanted to leave a link to FileDelayConfig article so you can find it easily.

For the FileDelayConfig - the file is pretty flexible. You can remove all the filters there, leaving simple "*" : 10 to force delay for all files. Just keep the JSON syntax so Sync can parse it.
