## Conventions
- Notes are CommonMark Markdown for Obsidian compatibility.
- Filename typos are sometimes preserved (e.g. `Cheetsheet.md`) to avoid breaking existing wiki-links.
- `AWS Test projects/lambda-process-SAM/` may carry `node_modules/` and `.aws-sam/` build output locally — both are gitignored. Recommended Obsidian search exclusions: `node_modules`, `.aws-sam`, `.git`.
## Sync
Push/pull is handled by the `github-sync` Obsidian plugin (configured under `.obsidian/plugins/github-sync/`, gitignored). Standard `git` also works from the repo root.
## License
Personal study notes — no license; not intended for redistribution. Some content paraphrases AWS documentation and third-party training material (A Cloud Guru, etc.) for personal reference.
