I am trying out a new note taking app

obsidian - installs pretty easy on mac, linux and chromebooks. rclone - I don't want to pay and like learning. So this CLI will help sync my files to google drive

I used rclone's script installation.

  • rclone config walked me through the setup; created my own client id
  • rclone config show reminded me what I named my remote
  • rconfig sync worked beautifully

I setup push and pull alias to sync across systems

# obsidian
NOTES_LOCAL=~/notes
NOTES_REMOTE=gdrive:/obsidian_notes
alias notes-push="rclone sync --progress $NOTES_LOCAL $NOTES_REMOTE"
alias notes-pull="rclone sync --progress $NOTES_REMOTE $NOTES_LOCAL"

Let's see how his goes
