This is a template vault that you may like to borrow inspiration from as you set up your own vault.
The Getting Started configuration guide gives instructions for:
- getting started with Obsidian, and a couple useful settings
- getting going with a couple different workflows
- an opinionated take on about 100 plugins and how to use them for your workflows
The post is aimed at a wide audience; if you use Obsidian or would like to, this post aims help you make the most of it. In particular, I discuss how to use Obsidian for:
- journaling
- note taking
- project and task management
- self-organization
- general writing
To get started, clone this repository as a starter template repository for your own uses. The repo contains an .obsidian
and .obsidian.vimrc
configuration with the settings and plugins I use, and the Getting Started with Obsidian post.
If you'd prefer to follow along by manually setting up your vault, I recommend copying the raw markdown of the post into a note in your vault in Reading View.
Plugins are great, and I will recommend many of them. They're also a security risk. I weakly claim that none of the community plugins I install or recommend are out to pwn your system, but I could be wrong. To my knowledge, the Obsidian developers do audit community plugins for security concerns, but they could miss something. Consider being cautious of newer plugins with fewer installs.
