Migrating from StandardNotes to Obsidian

Writing this post as it might help somebody out there.

I found this nice script written in php (Iā€™m not the author).
GitHub - hozza/standardnotes-to-markdown-yaml-export: šŸ“š Export notes from Standard Notes to Markdown files with metadata and tags.

I used it to import my StandardNotes files into Obsidian.

I did a small change in my fork, where I basically have another output for the filename.
GitHub - gabb0z/standardnotes-to-markdown-yaml-export-Only_title: šŸ“š Export notes from Standard Notes to Markdown files with metadata and tags.

In the original script, the output for files is:
"Title" "date".md

Special characters have been sanitised and replaced with a hyphen.

In my fork, I keep the special characters and I have only the title of the note as the name of the file.
"Title".md

Hi
I do not quite understand how to export from StandardNote into Obsidian do I have to download the files from Github. Or is there not an easier way to import into Obsidian ?
