How do I capture external sources into markdown files with frontmatter?

What types of sources can I save as markdown files in my wiki?

Do I need a specific configuration file to capture URLs into my wiki?

How does capturing GitHub issues and YouTube videos into markdown work?

Can I sync internal files into the wiki's raw directory along with external sources?
