One Year into my Second Brain and I0d like to evolve it now
Hi all, I’ve been using a second brain in obsidian+local file system on my Mac (so synced w/icloud drive) since a year or so, with an mcp to query it remotely. Super cool!
Yet, I’d like to backup on GitHub or eventually mirror it on GitHub to understand differences pros and cons. I feel GitHub is a bit an all-in-one compared to other tools and many are already using it.
I am stuck as I am using the brain more as an operating system than as a context for the LLMs, editing and storing files on which I work and then I push them on the company Google Drive when they are finished or at a good point.
I make an example: Now I am planning the Q3 so I take financial data in Excel, CRM data via MCP plus Excel qualitative data, interviews, and other stuff; I put all together in a subfolder of the Q3 planning then I put an agent to work and interact with me in Claude to plan the quarter itself. The output is a markdown file that is then stored in the Q3 folder and every two weeks I iterate on these files, basically seeing if the plan is on track. They are live folders, not used only as a context. This live setup helps me with Claude code routines to have suggestions from agents of tasks, what to improve next etc.
Do you think GitHub is a good tool to do it or is it better I continue using my local environment? Any other ideas?
