Back up a Logseq file graph to GitHub on iPhone

A Logseq file graph can contain Markdown and its logseq/config.edn file. When Logseq can use a Files-visible On My iPhone graph folder, Local Git can synchronize that folder with a writable GitHub repository.

How to use it

  1. Check the graph type

    Confirm you use a file graph and that its folder is visible under On My iPhone. Database graphs have a different layout.

  2. Test with a copy

    Create a disposable graph and GitHub repository before linking any important notes.

  3. Make a test edit

    Edit in Logseq, let it finish writing, then review changes and synchronize in Local Git.

Check the fit

Compatibility depends on the Logseq version and its folder access. Local Git does not back up hidden app storage, does not support iCloud Drive folders, and does not run continuous sync.

In short

Local Git is suitable only when the Logseq file graph is a local folder both apps can access. Verify that setup with disposable notes first.
