Foam

• A [[project]].
  • [[roam like]]. A [[vscode]] extension.
  • [[go]] https://foambubble.github.io/foam/
    • By [[jevakallio]], [[riccardo ferretti]].
    • Notable contributors / people I’ve met in the [[discord]]: [[ingalless]] [[scottjoe]] [[riccardo]] [[mathieudutour]].
  • As of [[2021-01-04]], my personal [[agora client]].
    • See [[foam settings]], which describes my setup.
    • Update [[2021-05-07]]: left for [[obsidian]].
  • To use foam:
    • Fork its template repository: https://github.com/foambubble/foam-template/. You can use any name you desire for your repository.
    • Install [[vscode]] if necessary: https://code.visualstudio.com/download. Launch it.
    • Select ‘clone repository’ — if you’re using [[github]], log in with [[github]]. Authorize [[vscode]] to make changes to your account. It sometimes requires you to retry once for some reason.
      • [[vscode]] should offer to install recommended extensions. Say yes.
    • You can now use [[foam]]:
      • Press alt-d to start a new daily note (your journal).
      • Write [[wikilinks]] to link to other pages.
      • Control-click them to visit existing linked notes or create them if needed.
      • ctrl-p to open an existing note.
      • ctrl-shift-p to bring up the [[vscode]] command palete; you can search for any command and see keyboard shortcuts.
      • Whenever you want to commit to your repository (and the Agora), save all files and use the "branch-like" icon on the left toolbar to review changes and write a commit message.
      • You may need to set a user.name and user.email in git. To do this, open the terminal in [[vscode]] and type:
        • git config —global user.name "Your Name"
        • git config —global user.email "yourname@example.com"
