And then when you navigate to the note you've linked to, there's a pane with all the backlinks pointing to the notes that link to it.

is there a way to automatically see all the reference in a snippet?

In VSCode this is the "explorer tab"

hmm.. not sure I follow this. Are you saying you want to be able to have the backlinks show up in the preview?

yeah

similar to roam

Yeah, the analogy here is with backlinks. Also shows up in publish view: https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/2fe96d3a-dcf9-409b-8a09-fdaa5a664433.html#backlinks

ah so it only shows up in publish view?

what about preview?

Yeah, there's no easy way to do that today afaik. We are working on beefing up the Ref blocks this month so we could do have a way for this to show up: https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/292

Maybe you can upvote/add your requirements there and we can take a look.

alright thanks!

that would be awesome if it can be implemented

Thanks for creating this. I'm a novice with git. I can do the basics and have a vault on my first machine and it successfully syncing with github. I'm on your step 3, trying to set this up on my second machine. I've done the following: 1. initialize workspace; 2. add vault (remote, custom) then entered my git repo link. But when I go to source control tab in vscode, it says, "The workspace currently open doesn't have any folders containing git repositories..." with "Initialize Repository" and "Publish to Github" buttons. What am I missing? Thanks!

have you pulled your changes from the repository?

No. Did I miss a step? It seems vscode doesn't see my vault as a repo.

hmm.

I would have assumed adding a remote vault would set that up? There is no .git folder in \vault. Should I initialize the folder first, then add the remote vault?

I set up my vault slightly different so let me try to follow the tutorial and get back to you.

So on your second machine, you: 1. initialized a new workspace 2. added a vault with your github endpoint but it hasn't added what the repository contains?

If done correctly you should have a vault that was added during initializing, and the vault that lives in your github repo.

If your git repository is public and don't mind sharing, could you share the git repo link you used to add your remote vault? I am suspecting something went wrong during that step.

otherwise can you share the link with identifying parts removed?

it isn't public.

was it in the form of

git@github.com:{your github username}/{your repo name}.git

?

no, i used the https version.

https://github.com/{github username}/vault.git

It should work with that form as well.

Sometimes it takes a bit to clone the repository and vscode may be wonky with that. Can you see if your vault appears after a

Developer: Reload Window

or simply closing VSCode and opening your workspace again?
