Object Corruption

When i get such issues, just going into the directory in Termux and running git sync -ns works

[DovieW]

Doesn't seem to actually be a network issue. if i run the Sync (all) Vaults script, it just keeps happening.

[DovieW]

the network error is from the git-sync script so that can be ignored.

I was able to fix the object file is empty with git fsck --full

If you need the changes from the remote, a safe bet is git fetch && git reset @{u}

[DovieW]

maybe the fix would be to auto git fsck --full if a sync fails. and that can be toggled with an env var and it defaults to true

made this script to move all my vaults to termux storage and do the worktrees thing. so far seems to be working (I think its signifcantly faster too). will check back in a couple weeks to see if it solved the issue.

the script (thanks chatgpt):

#!/bin/bash
set -euo pipefail

YELLOW='\033[0;33m'

mkdir -p "$DEST_PATH"

# Move all repositories from source to destination
for repo in "$SOURCE_PATH"/*; do

    if [ -f "$repo/.git" ]; then
      echo "$repo is a worktree. Skipping loop."
