## 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.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
## 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!
