Obsidian Template

1. Introduction

This repository stores the Obsidian template I use, which includes the following features:

1. Unified Attachment Storage
   1. Images are stored locally or accessed from an image hosting service (upload images by pasting/dragging).
   2. Other attachments are stored in the Attachment folder.
2. Local Drawing with Excalidraw
   1. Custom Chinese fonts
      
   2. Custom library of commonly used assets
   3. Use the Slideshow plugin for canvas presentations
      
   4. Use the Mindmap plugin for quick mind mapping
      
3. Integrated Obsidian Copilot (requires OpenAI API)
   
4. Integrated Obsidian browser
   
5. Code highlighting
6. Run markdown code snippets directly
   
7. UI styled like Github
8. Hidden menu scrolling
9. Synchronize with Github

2. How to Use

1. Clone the repository to your local machine:

   cd 
   cd Desktop
   git clone https://github.com/anglee0323/ObsidianTemplate.git
   

2. Delete the .git file, Readme.md file, and Placeholder.txt file:

   cd ObsidianTemplate
   rm -rf .git
   rm -rf Readme.md
   cd ..
   find ./ObsidianTemplate -name "Placeholder.txt" -delete
   

3. Create a new .git file and configure the repository or use iCloud for synchronization:

   cd ~/Desktop/ObsidianTemplate
   git init 
   git add .
   git commit -m "initial commit"
   

   If you use iCloud for synchronization, use the following command and skip steps 4 and 5 (if your iCloud file location is different, please modify it accordingly):

   mv ~/Desktop/ObsidianTemplate ~/Library/Mobile\ Documents/iCloud~md~obsidian/Documents
   

   Turn off the Obsidian Git plugin.

4. Add a remote repository:

   git remote add origin <your repo link.git>
   git push --set-upstream origin main
   

5. Set the automatic backup time for the Obsidian Git plugin:

   It is recommended to set it to back up every 10 minutes.
