The Big Idea
Notes on the technical set up of this digital garden.
- start by forking the quartz repository (otherwise it’s a pain later)
- clone fork and set up locally start with getting started
- then build and preview to make sure everything is working build and preview
- then set up the hosting with github without any fancy stuff just use the test page hosting
- found new plugin to add dates to properties so that I don’t need to use dataview or enveloppe
- using quatrz for static site generation (work comp had restrictions no issue on home laptop)
- Had issues getting npx to work was able to use
node quartz/bootstrap-cli.mjsfollowed by the command instead - very easy to just us
-doption to specify the envelop repo I cloned back down
- Had issues getting npx to work was able to use
- have a separate github repo that saves the raw obsidian markdown files. Use obsidian git plugin on comp to sync with it.
- Todo: write clearer speck of what I have set up
- Todo: write down all the settings I have used
- Todo: start by uploading my finished essays and linking them and creating definition pages
- Change icon under quartz/static to whatever icon you want
