Is there a way to git pull --force from the mobile app?

[Agent-E11]

I have a conflict so that I can't pull changes from GitHub. At this point I don't really care about my changes on my phone, I just want to be able to use Obsidian. Is there a way to essentially run git pull --force from the mobile app? I have run into this problem before and the way I fixed it was by deleting my vault (on my phone) and then creating a new one and cloning the repo. I don't want to have to do that every time I run into this (especially with how tedious the authentication is for mobile)

No there is currently not. There is only a command to delete all changes since the last commit. That may help already, but does not fix all issues.

No there is currently not.

Ok, it there a plan to add it?

I have been having a similar experience myself and a force pull would really make my life ten times easier. Every time I manage to get my PC and Mobile out of sync, I either have to delete the repo and do the whole shebang again or procrastinate and just not use the mobile vault. A force pull would make it perfect, really. I don't know if many others face this issue consistently, but there have to be a few of us that would greatly appreciate it if you managed to add this to git mobile.
Thanks!

Whenever using the Obsidian App to open a Vault synced by Obsidian Git on multiple devices, I always first open Termux on my Android device, which has a cron job for auto-sync (see below for references on how to set this up). Then I open the Obsidian vault. This helps to keep the vault changes from mobile always in sync. There could be cases where we have the same vault opened in parallel on the desktop and may face merge conflicts. In such cases, I use the following script to reset things:

For Linux or Android (Use Termux), create a script in the root directory resolve_conflicts.sh

#!/bin/bash

# Fetch the latest information from the remote repository
git fetch origin

# Check for merge conflicts
mergeConflicts=$(git ls-files -u)

if [ -n "$mergeConflicts" ]; then
    echo "Merge conflict detected. Resetting the repository..."

    # Reset the repository to the HEAD of the remote repository
    git reset --hard origin/HEAD

    # Pull the latest changes
    git pull origin main
else
    echo "No merge conflicts detected. Pulling the latest changes..."

    # Pull the latest changes
    git pull origin main
fi

For Windows, create a script in the root directory resolve_conflicts.ps1

# Fetch the latest information from the remote repository
git fetch origin

# Check for merge conflicts
$mergeConflicts = git ls-files -u

if ($mergeConflicts) {
    Write-Output "Merge conflict detected. Resetting the repository..."

    # Reset the repository to the HEAD of the remote repository
    git reset --hard origin/HEAD

    # Remove untracked files
    # git clean -fd

    # Pull the latest changes
    git pull origin main
} else {
    Write-Output "No merge conflicts detected. Pulling the latest changes..."

    # Pull the latest changes
    git pull origin main
}
