GitHub Repo Tools

An Obsidian plugin that puts a GitHub repository panel in your sidebar — monitor staleness, manage branches, stage and commit files, and track pull requests without leaving Obsidian.

Desktop only. Requires git to be installed and a local clone of the repository you want to monitor.

Features

Local repo status

  • Shows your current branch and a dropdown to switch branches
  • Detects uncommitted changes with an expandable file list
  • Shows how many commits you are behind the remote with a one-click Pull button
  • Ribbon icon badge turns red when your local repo is behind

Git operations

Fetch, Pull, Push, and Create Branch from the action bar. All operations run against the local clone you configure.

Commit modal

Stage individual files by checkbox, write a commit message, and commit (or commit + push) in one step.

PR dashboard

  • My PRs — open PRs you authored
  • Awaiting My Review — PRs where you are a requested reviewer
  • All Open PRs — collapsible list of everyone else's PRs
  • New activity badge on PRs that have been updated since you last opened them
  • One-click to open any PR in the browser

Create PR workflow

Smart PR creation from the sidebar:

  1. If you have uncommitted changes, prompts you to commit first
  2. Pushes the branch if it hasn't been pushed yet
  3. Opens a modal pre-filled with a title derived from your branch name

Status bar

Compact summary in the Obsidian status bar: sync status, uncommitted file count, open PR counts, and review request count.

Setup

  1. Install the plugin and enable it.
  2. Open Settings → GitHub Repo Tools.
  3. Set Local repo path — the absolute path to your local git clone (or use the Browse button).
  4. Set your GitHub personal access token — a classic PAT with repo scope is sufficient. The plugin will auto-detect the repo owner/name and your GitHub username from the token and remote URL.
