How to automatically sync Obsidian between Github and Android with Termux and Tasker

I use Obsidian git on PC, and this workaround (since the plugin doesn't support mobile) to seamlessly* sync my notes to and from my phone. Using these instructions you create an automation for pulling every time you open Obsidian, and pushing every time you close it.

_{* you can still get merge conflicts...}

Preparation

Install Tasker.
Install Termux.
Install Termux tasker plugin.
Open Termux and write termux-setup-storage, give it permissions.

How to sync Obsidian with Git on Android

Limitations

If Termux is closed in the background by Android, the cron service will stop updating your repository and you must open Termux again. Refer to instructions for your device model to disable the killing of certain background applications.
This may negatively affect your devices battery life. I'm not entirely sure yet.

Setup

Install Termux – Apps on Google Play
