Syncing

Syncing ensures your thoughts repository stays up to date with your latest work and synchronized with your team.

Manual Sync

hyprlayer thoughts sync

This command:

1. Creates a searchable index — Builds thoughts/searchable/ with hard links to all files
2. Stages all changes — Runs git add in the thoughts repository
3. Commits — Creates a timestamped commit if there are changes
4. Pulls — Pulls latest changes from the remote (with rebase)
5. Pushes — Pushes your changes to the remote

Custom Commit Message

hyprlayer thoughts sync --message "Added research on auth system"

Automatic Sync

When you run hyprlayer thoughts init, a post-commit hook is installed that automatically syncs thoughts after each code commit. The sync runs in the background so it doesn’t slow down your workflow.

The auto-sync commit message includes the code commit message:

Auto-sync with commit: Add user authentication

Check Status

hyprlayer thoughts status

Shows the current state of the thoughts repository, including any uncommitted changes.

Conflict Resolution

Since the thoughts repository uses git pull --rebase, conflicts are rare. If they occur:

1. Navigate to your thoughts repository (e.g., cd ~/thoughts)
2. Resolve conflicts manually
3. Run git rebase --continue
4. Run hyprlayer thoughts sync to push the resolution
