Getting Started

Welcome to your new foam workspace, let's get you started.

Let's go through this to set up your repo:

you can navigate the links between your notes by cmd+click (or ctrl+click on Windows) on a wikilink. Here, go to your [inbox]
to see how your notes are connected, execute the Foam: Show Graph command
- tip - cmd+click on a node to navigate to it
- tip - keep the graph open. As you navigate your files, it will focus on the active note, so you can at a glance see how it's connected in your knowledge base
#tags can be used to further organize your content. Look at the Tag Explorer view on the left panel to find and navigate the tags in your knowledge base
You can use Foam for your daily notes, or journaling. Execute now the Foam: Open Daily Note command to create a new file in your journal folder.
- tip - you can customize location, filename and note title for you daily notes in the settings
The section at the end of this file contains wikilink definitions, which enable navigation of your notes from GitHub's web UI, and in general to make [[wikilinks]] understood by any markdown parser.
- tip - Foam will sync links and definitions whenever you save the file
- tip - If you are just using foam in VsCode you can turn off wikilink definitions in your VsCode settings
