FAQ
Q: What is Ogresync?
Ans: A simple tool that automatically syncs your files to a Git repository, like having Dropbox for your code or notes.
Q: Do I need to know Git to use Ogresync?
Ans: No! Ogresync handles all the Git operations for you. Just install it and let it run.
Q: Can multiple people use the same repository?
Ans: Yes! That's the point. Everyone's changes get merged together automatically.
Q: Is my data safe?
Ans: Yes. Ogresync creates backups before making changes, and Git keeps a full history of everything.
Q: What's a GitHub token and why do I need one?
Ans: It's like a password that lets Ogresync access your repository. GitHub requires this for security.
Q: Can I use other Git services besides GitHub?
Ans: Currently, Ogresync is designed for GitHub, but it works with any Git repository.
Q: What if I already have a Git repository?
Ans: Ogresync can connect to existing repositories. Just provide the URL during setup.

Ans: Look for the Ogresync icon in your system tray. If it's there, it's running.
Q: Can I pause syncing?

Q: How often does it sync?
Ans: Immediately when you save files, plus every few minutes as a backup.
Q: What if I accidentally delete something important?
Ans: Check the _ogresync_backups folder in your synced directory. Everything gets backed up before changes.
Q: What happens if I have no internet?
Ans: Ogresync keeps working locally and syncs when your connection returns.
Q: Can I undo changes?
Ans: Yes! Use the backup system or check your repository's history on GitHub.
