Git Sync Plugin — Setup Notes

Folders YAML bug

The plugin UI always saves the folders field as a single comma-string:

folders:
  - 'pages,config,themes'

But the plugin code iterates the array expecting separate items. This causes git status pages,config,themes to be passed as a single path, so git sees nothing to commit and sync silently does nothing.

Fix: Edit user/config/plugins/git-sync.yaml directly:

folders:
  - pages
  - config
  - themes

Never use the Admin UI to change folders — it will rewrite the broken format.

Files to gitignore

user/config/plugins/git-sync.yaml contains an encrypted token and is server-specific. user/config/security.yaml contains Grav nonces/salts, also server-specific. Both are in .gitignore and must never be committed.
