Digital Garden

lbolla.info is now based on Obsidian’s Digital Garden. Previously, my notes were written in orgmode as .org files. Here are the most important steps I followed to convert them.

From org to md

I used pandoc to convert from org to md, something like:

pandoc --from=org --to=markdown file.org -o file.md -s ...

The conversion is not perfect and required some cleanup to remove spurious “block” elements in the output.

I created a new Obsidian vault in the directory containing the .md files. I then installed the Obsidian’s Digital Garden plugin and configured to publish the notes to Netlify.
