Sync

Concepts

Nothing syncs on its own — sync runs when you ask, and tells you what it did. Underneath, it is the explicit Git boundary between a local vault and its configured remote. It updates the local copy, publishes only where permitted, and rebuilds derived state.

What sync does

lyt sync coordinates Git work for the vaults in scope: it checks the local and remote state, integrates allowed updates, and refreshes indexes from the resulting markdown. It is the route for moving changes between machines or collaborators, not a replacement for the local source of truth.

Two brushed-metal pads on a pale surface, each holding one upright page. A blurred trail runs from the page on the left pad across to the right pad, whose base glows green. — Sync runs when you ask, carrying saved changes between the copies you control.

Permissions travel with Git

A vault can publish only when its configured remote and your credentials allow it. Read-only subscriptions update locally without becoming a write path. See sharing for the access model.

An explicit network action

A vault can stay local. Sync reaches a remote only when one is configured and you invoke the operation; it is separate from local capture, indexing, and search.
