Installation

Installing from the Obsidian App

Search "Gist" in Settings -> Community plugins, you can find and install this plugin.

You can check https://help.obsidian.md/Advanced+topics/Third-party+plugins#Discover+and+install+community+plugins for an official guide.

Manually installing the plugin

Find the latest release: https://github.com/linjunpop/obsidian-gist/releases, then copy over main.js, manifest.json, styles.css to your vault's .obsidian/plugins/obsidian-gist directory (ex. VaultFolder/.obsidian/plugins/obsidian-gist/).

Development

Develop the plugin locally

• Clone this repo to a local development folder. For convenience, you can place this folder in your .obsidian/plugins/obsidian-gist folder.
• Install NodeJS, then run npm i in the command line under your repo folder.
• Run npm run dev to compile your plugin from main.ts to main.js.
• Make changes to main.ts (or create new .ts files). Those changes should be automatically compiled into main.js.
• Reload Obsidian to load the new version of your plugin.
• Enable plugin in settings window.

Releasing new releases

• Update the manifest.json with a new version number, such as 1.0.1, and the minimum Obsidian version required for your latest release.
• Update the versions.json file with "new-plugin-version": "minimum-obsidian-version" so older versions of Obsidian can download an older version of your plugin that's compatible.
• Create new GitHub release using your new version number as the "Tag version". Use the exact version number, don't include a prefix v.
• Upload the files manifest.json, main.js, styles.css as binary attachments.
• Publish the release.
