archivy-git allows users to use version control with their Archivy instance.

It is an official extension developed by archivy

Install

You need to have archivy already installed.

Run pip install archivy_git.

Usage

$ archivy git --help
Usage: archivy git [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

Options:
  --help  Show this message and exit.

Commands:
  pull   Pulls changes from remote to local repository.
  push   Pushes local changes to the remote.
  setup  Creates and sets up git repository.

Use the setup command to create and configure a new, empty git repository. If you connect your repo to a private GitHub repository, keep in mind you can no longer login with your username / password and you need to create a personal access token.

You can also just clone an existing repository, in which case you don't need to run setup

Then you can periodically pull/push through the command line. The plugin is not yet compatible with the web interface.

However, it can also be useful to automatically push changes when you make an edit or create a new note / bookmark. To do this, you'll need to configure a Hook.

These are events that Archivy exposes and that you can configure.

To do so, run archivy hooks to edit the file and create it if it doesn't exist.

We can use the sync_dataobj archivy-git method to sync changes when they are made.

Example:

from archivy.config import BaseHooks
class Hooks(BaseHooks):

	def on_edit(self, dataobj):
		from archivy_git import sync_dataobj
		sync_dataobj(dataobj) # syncs / pushes changes

	def on_dataobj_create(self, dataobj):
		# the same for creation
		from archivy_git import sync_dataobj
		sync_dataobj(dataobj)
