Demo vault to explain how to use Obsidian, git and Zotero
The point of making the tutorial inside Obsidian is to show, rather than tell, you how it works. Therefore, this vault comes with some plugins and templates pre-installed.
This hopefully gives you a good base to try out Obsidian and see if you like it.
Install Obsidian and download this repository.
Inside Obsidian, "open folder as vault" which should open up the start page (Notes/Obsidian). If not then open this file and the tutorial will continue from there.
To allow third party plugins, you will need to go into settings and enable community plugins (Settings > Community plugins)
Obsidian is a note taking app, where essentially you are just editing text files with a few extra bells and whistles. The key is that you can link notes together with simple wiki link (they look like [[this]]). This allows structure to form as you write down ideas, so you don't need to create a complex folder structure.
By linking these ideas together, structure can naturally form that matches your way of thinking. You also get a cool graph like this:
