- WNWceAJ9R9Ezc4 7mo agoNotes are stored in Markdown files. Why do you need Obsidian CLI to view notes when `cat` will do?
- goodmythical 7mo agoOkay, so my command line fu is not what it perhaps should be, but if I could use obsidian without the bloated app, I'd be even more in love. How would I be able to search obsidian links from the command line? Like, to travel between notes in the app of course I can just click on connecting links or search, but I wouldn't have the faintest idea how to do that in a cli. Is there some handy way to search the current folder and subfolders for text in a file with regex? Like some kind of >find term for all of my [[term]] entries in markdown files ?
- toddmorey 7mo agoWhat is obsidian beyond a pile of markdown files without the app?

- fredoliveira 7mo agoNot gp, but because the way hackernews would render in a web browser versus curl is dramatically different, of course. There's a clear separation of presentation and content, and curl shows you presentation. Notes being plain text files means that what you get by showing via a CLI is essentially the same as just `cat whatever-it-is.md`. Viewing a note via the CLI interface could have its merits (it could apply its own flavor of presentation), but come on now. Your example doesn't hold.
- kepano 7mo agoYou can view notes with Obsidian CLI. See the "read" commands. But also you can do that with your built-in command line tools. https://help.obsidian.md/cli https://help.obsidian.md/cli
- jadbox 7mo agoThank you, that helped
- tibbon 7mo agoI've used it with Claude Code for refactoring and helping write a really in depth D&D campaign. Using frontmatter, I can keep metadata about NPCs and characters synced across all files. Fixes all the problems I've had about "In what order do I put this data" and flipping back and forth in a huge stack of papers.
