Sync & Collaboration

GitHub Sync gives you a private, version-controlled backup of your notes and recording metadata that you can pull onto any device. The repository is yours — SeaMeet writes into it through GitHub's official OAuth flow, with no Seasalt-hosted server in the middle.

What's Covered

• GitHub Sync Setup — Installing the SeaMeet GitHub App, picking or creating your sync repo, OAuth + auto-refresh, conflict resolution, and the Sync Settings panel

Why Sync

• Move between desktops without losing your notes tree
• Keep an off-site backup that doesn't depend on a single cloud provider
• Inspect or edit the underlying Markdown directly on GitHub if you want
• Add notes from a phone via the GitHub mobile app, then pull them on desktop

What Syncs (and What Doesn't)

Synced	Not synced
Notes tree (titles, bodies, hierarchy)	Local-only recordings
Recording manifests (metadata, tags)	Audio/video binary files
AI summaries and transcripts	Cached AI generations
Wikilink graph	App settings

Audio and video are large; SeaMeet keeps them local. Manifests, transcripts, and notes are small text — those go through the GitHub repo.

Before You Start

You'll need:

• A GitHub account
• The SeaMeet GitHub App installed on that account or on a target organization
• A repository SeaMeet can write to (the setup flow can create one for you)
• An active sync entitlement — included with most BYOK Pro tiers (see Chapter 35: Subscription & Billing)
