Obsidian CLI enables you to conveniently access your vault from the terminal, without having to navigate to the vault folder or provide the full file path. Simply enter the name of the desired note, and the CLI will take care of the rest.
Create Note
Effortlessly create new notes by typing the desired note name. Additionally, you can update existing notes using the convenient --overwrite or --append flags.
Open Note
# opens cake.md from default vault
$ obsidian-cli open cake
# opens cookies.md from recipes vault
$ obsidian-cli open cookies --vault other-vault
Open notes in Obsidian by simply typing the note name, regardless of their location within the vault.
Search Note
# Opens with search query in default vault
$ obsidian-cli search stars
# Opens with search query in other-vault
$ obsidian-cli search stars --vault other-vault
Perform text searches with ease, Obsidian will open with the query results displayed in the search tab.
Delete Note
# Deletes the note in default vault
$ obsidian-cli delete abc
# Deletes the note in other-vault
$ obsidian-cli delete abc --vault other-vault
Deleting a note is just as straightforward as creating one.
Move Note
Relocate notes by specifying the current and new paths, and watch as linked notes are automatically updated. Notes can also be renamed in the same way!
