yoink

Yoink is a quick tool for use with Obsidian that will allow you to take a markdown file and package it up into a folder that will allow you to share an entire markdown document with someone else without having to manually copy all the attachments to a folder.

What problem does yoink solve?

In Obsidian, when you have a large vault, keeping images organized can become unwieldy. If I wanted to share a single note with someone, I would have to be sure to include in a folder the markdown file as well as any attachments referenced by that markdown file. This can become painful if you wish to share a document with many attachments. Yoink allows you to search your vault for a single markdown file and copies it to an "extracted" folder along with all of it's attachments. This allows you to share a single folder without having to manually track down the attachments referenced by the markdown file.

Usage

• If you're searching for files that may contain spaces, ensure that your note_to_find.md is enclosed in double quotes.

yoink -f "note_to_find.md" -l "/path/to/vault/"

• Feel free to submit PRs to clean up the code, it is very messy but it gets the job done.
