Opening these notes in Obsidian

This repository is meant to live inside an Obsidian vault, not be the vault.

Obsidian stores vault settings in a .obsidian/ folder. That folder should sit outside the git repo so it is not committed. To get that layout:

1. Create a parent folder (the name can be anything — CSNotes, WesternNotes, etc.).
2. Clone your fork into that folder, so git lives one level down.
3. In Obsidian, Open folder as vault on the parent folder — not the cloned repo.

mkdir WesternNotes
cd WesternNotes
git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/CSNotes.git

That should look like this:

WesternNotes/                 ← open THIS folder as your Obsidian vault
├── .obsidian/                ← created by Obsidian; do not put this in git
└── CSNotes/                  ← the cloned repo (this is where .git lives)
    ├── .git/
    ├── README.md
    └── Year2/

Do not open the inner CSNotes folder (the one that contains .git) as a new vault. If you do, Obsidian will create .obsidian/ inside the repo, mix vault settings with the notes, and the intended layout will break.
