Usage

The main interface of obsidian-export is the similarly-named obsidian-export CLI command. In it's most basic form, obsidian-export takes just two mandatory arguments, source and destination:

obsidian-export ~/Knowledgebase /tmp/export

This will export all of the files from ~/Knowledgebase to /tmp/export, except for those listed in .export-ignore or .gitignore.

Frontmatter

By default, frontmatter is copied over "as-is".

Some static site generators are picky about frontmatter and require it to be present. Some get tripped up when Markdown files don't have frontmatter but start with a list item or horizontal rule. In these cases, --frontmatter=always can be used to insert an empty frontmatter entry.

To completely remove any frontmatter from exported notes, use --frontmatter=never.
