FAQPage Schema

How do I switch between multiple Obsidian vault configurations?▼

To switch Obsidian vault configurations, use the wiki-switch command to update the active symlink at ~/.obsidian-wiki/config. This instantly changes the active vault profile by reading the OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH from the newly linked config.

Can I list all my Obsidian vault profiles and see which one is active?▼

Yes, you can list all registered Obsidian vault profiles and identify the active one. The Skill reads the configurations stored in ~/.obsidian-wiki and displays which vault profile is currently linked and active.

How do I create a new Obsidian vault configuration from an existing one?▼

You can create new Obsidian vault configurations by scaffolding from the active vault. This duplicates the current profile setup, allowing you to manage separate configurations and contexts for different projects.

Are sensitive keys exposed when I show my Obsidian vault configuration?▼

No, sensitive keys are redacted when you show your full Obsidian vault configuration. This ensures that while you can review your profile settings, sensitive information within the config remains hidden.

What do I need to set up before managing Obsidian vault profiles with this tool?▼

You need Obsidian installed and vault configuration files stored locally in the ~/.obsidian-wiki directory. The tool reads and symlinks these config files to manage and switch between your local profiles.
