Describe the Bug

When I try to sync with Git, I get this error:

"Failed to checkout "main" because commit 9f59a09dff641afafc1392d75ee7d491e15dc7d8 is not available locally. Do a git fetch to make the branch available locally.
"

Anyone knows what I'd need to do to enable git sync? I am kind of new with git.
Maybe it would help to know where exactly is "locally" located. :-)

Thanks!

Expected Behavior

sync should work out of the box.

To Reproduce

configure git and try to sync.

Hello 👋

Thank you for taking the time to open this issue with floccus. I know it's frustrating when software
causes problems. You have made the right choice to come here and open an issue to make sure your problem gets looked at
and if possible solved.
I'm Marcel and I created floccus a few years ago, maintaining it ever since. I currently work for Nextcloud
which leaves me with less time for side projects like this one than I used to have.
I still try to answer all issues and if possible fix all bugs here, but it sometimes takes a while until I get to it.
Until then, please be patient.
Note also that GitHub is a place where people meet to make software better together. Nobody here is under any obligation
to help you, solve your problems or deliver on any expectations or demands you may have, but if enough people come together we can
collaborate to make this software better. For everyone.
Thus, if you can, you could also have a look at other issues to see whether you can help other people with your knowledge
and experience. If you have coding experience it would also be awesome if you could step up to dive into the code and
try to fix the odd bug yourself. Everyone will be thankful for extra helping hands!
To continue the development and maintenance of this project in a sustainable way it is expected that you donate to the project when opening a ticket,
if you're not a donor already. You can find donation options at https://floccus.org/donate/. Thank you!

One last word: If you feel, at any point, like you need to vent, this is not the place for it; you can go to the Nextcloud forum,
to twitter or somewhere else. But this is a technical issue tracker, so please make sure to
focus on the tech and keep your opinions to yourself.

I look forward to working with you on this issue
Cheers 💙

Ah, Git currently does not work in the native app, this is a known issue: see #1608

[exoticatom]

what is what this statement in App Store? Sorry it is misleading.

Any plans? 4 months ago I tired and it didn't work, I thought it was fixed.
It was different error back then.

I'm sorry. I understand that it's frustrating when things don't work. What you were viewing is a changelog, the bug surfaced afterward, however. I'm not intentially trying to deceive you. I did attempt to fix this in the meantime, but it's beyond my powers at the moment as the bug is in the mobile framework we're using, you may apply for a refund in the app store if this renders the app unusable for you (not sure if that is possible in the MacOS app store). I will try to make it more clear that the Git backend currently doesn't work in the native app.

[exoticatom]

it's clear you didn't mean it.

I am using your software anyway extensivly, I won't apply for refund. It's good.
thx for great work!

Thank you for your understanding :)
