Issues with setup/learning github desktop & obsidian

[moonimmisch]

I have had issues setting up github desktop & obsidian, I have tried several times on two different computers and have reached varied levels of success.

Steps Taken

• [x] Setup both programs on my old computer but not sure if it was done correctly
• [x] Lauren looked over but some issue with syncing possibly occurred
• [x] Got a new computer, tried again using several tutorials added the wrong repository to github desktop (ecosystem) and didn't see the pages or blogs section so unable to upload to website
• [x] Tutorials read:

@moonimmisch - from the look of it you haven't added the vault. Please try the below:

If you have added a vault to Obsidian - please remove this first. To access the below interface click on the cog icon in your obsidian app.

Then use this guide https://makeitmarkdown.flowershow.app/learn/introduction

When you add the vault folder - select the CONTENT folder (not the whole thing)

It should then look like this inside Obsidian:

With @laurenwigmore's help I have now got github desktop & obsidian up & running!
