What Is Kepano's Obsidian Vault?
This is the complete vault repository previously listed as a single template. The canonical vault page preserves its repository, download, license, and setup context without presenting the project as one copyable note template. Use it to inspect an established configuration or as a starting point after reviewing every included setting.
What's Inside This Vault
The actual directory structure, dashboards, and core folders included in this vault:
.obsidian/
Vault-level settings, enabled plugins, workspace state, and CSS configuration from the published repository.
Notes and examples
The repository's Markdown notes and demonstration material, which should be reviewed before personal content is added.
Key Features
Published configuration reference
Useful for studying how a maintained Obsidian setup organizes settings and snippets.
Open-source starting point
Can be opened separately and adapted selectively rather than merged blindly into an existing vault.
