Obsidian CLI

Command line utility to interact with Obsidian. Notable features:

• List Obsidian vaults (obsidian ls -l)
• Open folders as vaults from the command line (obsidian open {PATH})
• Create vaults from templates (obsidian new {PATH})
  • You can share vault settings (e.g. keybindings) with the template via hardlinks, so when you edit the template keybindings, it affects all vaults
• Customize the new vault template and create new vaults (obsidian template edit)

Installation and Usage

Python 3.11 or newer required.

uv tool install obsidian-cli
obsidian --install-completion
