# Export Obsidian vaults into clean Markdown trees for publishing or downstream processing

Convert Obsidian vault content, wikilinks, and attachments into portable Markdown trees before publishing, indexing, or migrating notes.

## Prerequisites

obsidian-export CLI and access to the source vault directory

## Installation

Requirements and caveats from upstream:
- As a text interface, this must be run from a terminal or Windows PowerShell.
- Note that the destination directory must exist, so you may need to create a new, empty directory first.
- Some static site generators are picky about frontmatter and require it to be present.

Basic usage or getting-started notes:
- docs directory and run generate.sh.
- ## Pre-built binaries
- Pre-compiled binaries for all major platforms are available at <https://github.com/zoni/obsidian-export/releases>

- Source: https://github.com/zoni/obsidian-export
- Extracted from upstream docs: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zoni/obsidian-export/HEAD/README.md
