Init Command
The init command is designed to help you hit the ground running. It scaffolds a new, empty Kiln project that you can then open with Obsidian. This is the perfect starting point if you are testing Kiln for the first time.
Work in progress
This command is rather useless in the current state. It just creates an empty vault.
Next iterations of this will scaffold a starter site.
Usage
./kiln init
Flags
| Flag | Short version | Default value | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
--input | -i | "vault" | The name of the directory to be created. |
What it Generates
Running this command will create a new folder (defaulting to ./vault) containing a standard Obsidian-style structure:
📂 vault/
└── 📄 Home.md
You can immediately run the generate command against this folder to build your first site.
# Initialize
./kiln init
# Build
./kiln generate --input "vault"
