Obsidian Setup Guide

This guide explains how to connect your local Obsidian vault to the Eritora Wiki system.

1. Install Obsidian

If you haven't already, download Obsidian.

2. Clone the Repository

You need the raw markdown files on your computer. 

git clone https://github.com/ncuskey/Eritora.git Documents/Eritora
Open this folder as a Vault in Obsidian.

3. Install "Obsidian Git"

This plugin handles the synchronization magic.

  1. Open Obsidian Settings -> Community Plugins.
  2. Turn on "Restricted Mode" (if off) to enable plugins.
  3. Browse -> Search "Obsidian Git" -> Install -> Enable.

4. Configuration

  1. Open Plugin Settings -> Obsidian Git.
  2. Vault backup interval (minutes): Set to 5 or 10.
  3. Auto backup after file change: Enable.
  4. Desktop: Use "Source Control View" (sidebar) to manually sync if needed.

Workflow

  • Write: Just write notes normally in Obsidian.
  • Sync: The plugin auto-commits your changes.
  • Publish: The Bot detects the commit and rebuilds the website in ~1 minute.

Troubleshooting

  • Conflict: If you edit a file that someone else changed, the plugin might pause. Open the Source Control view to resolve conflicts (usually by "Pulling" first).
