# Windows Setup

> [!info]
> This note is step-by-step instructions to clone this repository,
> that is, _my notebook_ to your own Windows PC.
> If you only want to create your own vault,
> see [[create-your-own-vault]].

## Clone This Vault

1. Create a [GitHub](https://github.com/)
  account if you don't have one already.

2. Install [Git](https://git-scm.com/)

  ```
  winget install Git.Git
  ```

3. Clone this repo

  ```
  git clone https://github.com/ZaneMeyers/zmVault
  ```

> [!important]
> If you're reading this,
> you probably have push access to this repo.
> Please do me a favor and don't use it.
> It won't be destructive, but it may be annoying.

### Discarding Changes

If you make unintended changes to this vault:

```
cd zmVault
git reset --hard
git pull origin main
```

Apparently this doesn't work.
The most straightforward solution
is to delete the folder and re-clone.

## Setup Obsidian

1. Download and install [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md/)
