Publish notes from an Obsidian vault folder into another folder (usually a repo's content directory) by one-way mirroring top-level Markdown files (add, update, remove). Discovers vaults and likely targets, asks the user where to publish from and to, previews, then mirrors with a bundled script. Use when the user says "publish the blog", "sync the vault to the repo", "push my Obsidian posts", or "publish-vault". Do NOT commit or push (use ship); do NOT edit note content.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Publish Vault
Mirror one vault folder into one target folder. The source wins every conflict; the target is output only. Paths are never assumed: vaults and repos move, so discover them each run and confirm with the user.
## Steps
1. **Find vaults.** Read Obsidian's registry and list every vault path that still exists:
```sh
python3 -I -c 'import json,os;r=json.load(open(os.path.expanduser("~/Library/Application Support/obsidian/obsidian.json")));[print(v["path"]) for v in r["vaults"].values() if os.path.isdir(v["path"])]'
```
On Linux the registry is `~/.config/obsidian/obsidian.json`. Note any registered path that no longer exists: the vault moved, so ask the user where it went.
2. **Ask for the source.** If `src` was not given, show the vaults and their top-level folders that contain `.md` files, and ask which folder to publish. Accept any path the user types.
3. **Find targets.** Look for content folders in nearby git repos that already hold the same filenames as the source (strong match), or directories named `blog`, `posts`, `content`, `notes`:
```sh
for f in "<src>"/*.md; do echo "$(basename "$f")"; done > /tmp/names
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add urmzd/dotfiles/publish-vault@sha256:2814da9e641865e2The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261028.da7f823, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
