Automated Commits Obsidian

I mentioned in the previous post about my migration to Obsidian that although the new workflow with Obsidian is drastically faster than that of manual commits from an IDE, I’d still find a way to make it even more streamlined and that I’d share it on here if I did so successfully.

Alas, my process now is:

• double-click obsidian shortcut (new template automatically opens)
• write
• save (after 10 mins of inactivity after ctrl+s Obsidian automatically pushes to git remote)

This is how:

For automatically creating a new template upon opening Obsidian:

• create a new folder named “Templates” and add a template
• settings > templates > set Template folder location: <Your Templates Folder>

Folder should look like this:

Templates
  {{date}}-Obsidian-Template

// "{{date}}" is automatically replaced with current date in your selected format.

For automatically committing and pushing to git origin remote after 10 mins of inactivity after ctrl+s ing, I highly recommend you download the “git” plugin from Obsidian Community plugins.

I didn’t even have to write a custom batch file!

If you can see this post, take it as a sign that the extension works.
