| | | ## Setup |
|---|
| | | Obsidian is the preferred way to use Quartz. You can either create a new Obsidian Vault or link one that your already have. |
|---|
| | | |
|---|
| | | ### New Vault |
|---|
| | | If you don't have an existing Vault, [download Obsidian](https://obsidian.md/) and create a new Vault in the `/content` folder that you created and cloned during the [setup](notes/setup.md) step. |
|---|
| | | |
|---|
| | | ### Linking an existing Vault |
|---|
| | | The easiest way to use an existing Vault is to copy all of your files (directory and hierarchies intact) into the `/content` folder. |
|---|
| | | |
|---|
| | | ## Settings |
|---|
| | | Great, now that you have your Obsidian linked to your Quartz, let's fix some settings so that they play well. |
|---|
| | | |
|---|
| | | Open Settings > Files & Links and look for these two items: |
|---|
| | | |
|---|
| | | 1. Set the **New link format** to **Absolute Path in vault**. |
|---|
| | | 2. Turn **on** the **Automatically update internal links** setting. |
|---|
| | | |
|---|
| | | *Obsidian Settings* |

| | | |
|---|
| | | ## Templates |
|---|
| | | Inserting front matter everytime you want to create a new Note gets annoying really quickly. Luckily, Obsidian supports templates which makes inserting new content really easily. |
|---|
| | | |
|---|
| | | **If you decide to overwrite the `/content` folder completely, don't remove the `/content/templates` folder!** |
|---|
| | | |
|---|
| | | Head over to Options > Core Plugins and enable the Templates plugin. Then go to Options > Hotkeys and set a hotkey for 'Insert Template' (I recommend `[cmd]+T`). That way, when you create a new note, you can just press the hotkey for a new template and be ready to go! |
