Markdown is encouraged, as all notes\nare kept as .md files.\n\nNotes are linked using their UIDs, like [this](20240101T010203Z) or\n[[20240202T010203Z]]. Zettelkasten will automatically detect links and update\nheaders.\n\nIf your editor supports it, put ![image](./from/resources/img.jpg).\n````\n\n`zettelkasten` command line application comes with commands:\n\n- `$ zettelkasten init` to set things up for the first time,\n- `$ zettelkasten new` to create new command,\n- `$ zettelkasten link` to find references between notes and fill\n  `referred_from`, `refers_to` fields of the header,\n- `$ zettelkasten commit` to `git commit` if you keep your notes\n  version-controlled.\n\n# Try yourself\n\n## Install\n\nCurrently, to install `zettelkasten` you need golang compiler. You distro likely\nprovides it in its repos.\n\nAfter cloning this repository, `cd` into and run:\n\n```bash\ngo install ./cmd/zettelkasten\n```\n\nIf your OS is setup properly and your `PATH` is populated with `go` built\nbinaries, you can use `zettelkasten` in your terminal now.\n\n## Initialize\n\nTo follow default settings and create configuration in\n`$HOME/.config/zettelkasten/config.toml`, use:\n\n```bash\nzettelkasten init\n```\n\nAlternatively, you can use `-f \u003cpath\u003e` to set where you want to store config\nfile. Remember that you will have to keep typing `-f` forever then.\n\n## Your first note\n\nTo create new note with appropriate filename and header, in a directory defined\nby configuration, use:\n\n```bash\nnvim $(zettelkasten new)\n```\n\nYou are encouraged to create an alias for this or create new mapping in (n)vim\nitself.\n\n# Philosophy\n\n- Note is a record of a thought, plan or goal. It may describe something you\n  have read, something you have seen or somewhere you have been to.\n- Note is written the way it _could_ be published.\n- You do not collect notes for just for data hoarding. You revisit, distill or\n  even remove notes.\n- You do not strive for hierarchy. You link notes.\n- To label notes, you use tags.\n- To create collections, you use indices. E.g. \"books\", \"travel\", \"ideas\".\n- Use plain text. It is searchable and it will last.\n- Your notes are **you**. Do not let corporations read your mind. Do not store\n  them anywhere outside your PC unless you can safely encrypt them. Do not trust\n  any online services.\n- Backup.\n\n# (n)vim plugin\n\nYou can use any text editor, as long it can easily cooperate with `zettelkasten`\nbinary, i.e. you are able to define key mappings to create and search notes.\nJust because I use `nvim`, I prepared dedicated plugin. To install it, use your\nplugin manager, e.g. [`vim-plug`](https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug):\n\n```vim\nPlug 'radiand/zettelkasten'\n```\n\nCurrently it defines following mappings:\n\n- `\u003cleader\u003ezk` to create new note (supports tab-completion of workspaces),\n- `\u003cleader\u003ezf` to find notes (requires [fzf](https://github.com/junegunn/fzf)),\n- `\u003cleader\u003ezg` to follow links (use when UID is under cursor).\n\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fradiand%2Fzettelkasten","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fradiand%2Fzettelkasten","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fradiand%2Fzettelkasten/lists"}
