To publish with the Digital Garden plugin you can simply follow their guide to get started.

For me here's what I did to start:

Assuming you have obsidian installed and use it to create/manage your notes:

Acquiring

1. Create a Github Account
2. Create a Vercel Account
3. Bought (rented really) my own Custom domain using Namecheap

Setting up

1. Went to the plugin's source repo and clicked on the publish with vercel SCRIPT
2. On github I installed Vercel as an approved app to only a specific repository (The one I just created for the website using vercel's script).
   1. You can do that by installing vercel to the whole account and then changing its app's access to only the repo after you create it with vercel's script
   2. OR you can create the repo beforehand, and then use the vercel script to install it to that repo only
3. In vercel I clicked on Domains and setup my own domain address as the domain for the newly created project
   1. This will also require you go to namecheap and change the dns settings to include what vercel will recommend you add (it will ask you to add a dns record of type "A" value "@" and ip address "something vercel will give you")

Creating the home page (must have)

1. Create a page to be your website's home/landing page
2. Add the properties dg-home: true and dg-publish: true
3. optional:
   1. make the home page pinned to the top: add dg-pinned: true
   2. change the displayed title of the page so you can use emojis by adding the property title: "the title to display~ :D"

Installing and Configuring the plugin

1. Install the Digital Garden plugin from the community plugins tab
2. Configure the three spaces in the plugin (self explanatory)
3. Highly Recommended:
   1. for the access token create a fine-grained token on github using that link (DO NOT USE CLASSIC) :
      1. make it have access to the repo you created for this website (remember what you created with vercel on github?)
      2. give it read/write access on only two things: content and poll requests
   2. You can (disliked for security purposes) change the expiration date to "no expiration" to keep it valid for obsidian's plugin to continue using (assuming you kept the scope limited to the website repo only)
4. Now checkout what configurations you can change for the new website/blog on the plugin options in obsidian :D Make it yours :D

Now have fun tinkering with your website by digging into the plugin settings or looking up how to do stuff on the documentation or internet.
