Git and submodules

Plain Obsidian vaults can use filesystem discovery without Git. To publish tracked files and nested course repositories, use:

{"version":1,"contentDir":"content","discovery":"git","publication":"policies"}

Git discovery reads recursive tracked files and explicitly declared submodules. Initialize those submodules before building. Untracked notes are excluded in Git mode; filesystem discovery reads visible ordinary files instead.

Twiki does not edit notes, commit submodules or update Git pointers. Hidden directories such as .obsidian and .twiki, dependency directories, credentials and unsafe symlink paths are excluded from discovery.

For general documentation, set site.navigation.mode to sections. Course navigation remains the default for compatibility. See Configuration reference.
