Development

Requires Node.js 22.13 or newer. Corepack is recommended so the pinned pnpm version in package.json is used.

# enable package manager
corepack enable

# install deps
pnpm install

# dev
pnpm dev

# build
pnpm build

Release

Version bumps use the package manager's version lifecycle. The command updates package.json, syncs manifest.json, updates versions.json only when the minimum Obsidian app version changes, then creates a local commit and tag.

pnpm version:patch
pnpm version:minor
pnpm version:major

Review the generated commit and tag, then push them manually when ready:

git push
git push --tags
