How I Copy my Obsidian Files into my git Repository
How I copy Obsidian notes into git so that I can author my notes in Obsidians and publish them to the web.
2022-10-28
My workflow for frequently publishing content to my personal website with Obsidian relies on constantly fetching files from my Obsidian vault into my git repo and pushing it straight to GitHub, triggering a Vercel deployment.
How It Works
I have a yarn script called cpAndPush that I run from the command line:
yarn cpAndPush
cpAndPush looks like this:
yarn prebuild:cpFiles && git add . && git commit -m 'update content' && git push origin HEAD
For this script to work, there are a few notes about my workflow:
- I work on
mainfor my personal website, so doing this publishes to curiouslychase.com - I keep my local repo clean if I'm not actively working on something. If I need to run this and have development changes, I'll run
git stash save -u -k "wip"before runningyarn cpAndPushso that my working tree is clean
yarn prebuild:cpFiles runs a script I have locally that fetches files from my Obsidian vault into my content directory.
