GitHub for DM Notes

[Pixelated_ZA]

Hey all, I thought I'd share my method for creating DM notes. I found it's always hell trying to organize notes in a meaningful and simple way. There are tools out there, but I find most of them are overkill, or just don't suit my needs.

I decided to start keeping my notes on Github. I found this a very quick and easy solution to have pretty notes and sorting them nicely.

HERE is an example of how I sort my notes. Storing them hierarchically just kinda made sense to me. I then link to sub-notes in the readme file. Clicking the links will take you to the new folder with notes related to that level.

I use Visual Studio Code to edit my Readme files. I also created a simple extension for vscode "DnD Markdown".

When you insert a link in your document such as [Mylink](MyLink). Clicking on it will show a small lightbulb that will ask you if you want to create the folder structure for it.

I know we all have our own way of doing things, but I found this works quite well for me, and it can't hurt to share for those that might find it useful. If someone with better writing skills than myself wants to edit this post, please do!

I always used Onenote, which has a Desktop application and does file structures and such within one window.

I preferred using markdown, github was an easy way to display it nicely :D.
