But my teammates should basically be creating their own work

Question

But my teammates should basically be creating their own workspaces and adding the vault Why should I want to share a workspace as opposed to just a vault not rhetorical I m trying to understand

kevins8 · Answer

so you can share a public workspace and then your teammates can download that workspace when dendron initializes a workspace it will pull in any vaults associated with the workspace the reason for this extra step of indirection was to better let you mix and match vaults depending on context

idan · Answer

Hrm I kinda grok it But in our case we are only ever going to share the one vault

idan · Answer

I guess my question now is what if anything we would want to share in terms of a workspace

kevins8 · Answer

for that case you can commit the whole workspace to git you ll need to remove the vault from gitignore since we add it there by default

kevins8 · Answer

self contained vaults is us addressing your question since sharing a single vault is the common case moving forward mid march a vault will be a workspace and vice versa

kevins8 · Answer

you can think of the current dendron workspace as a git submodule except instead of going the submodule route we implemented our own logic to pull in un initialized git repos the next iteration of dendron workspaces self contained vaults will function more like a npm package a vault is all you need and a vault can declare dependencies on other vaults

idan · Answer

Got it I think the rest of the team might not adopt Dendron for their personal lives like I have so I m leaning towards making the repo be the vault and not the workspace so I can use just the vault in my existing workspace and they can do as they please

idan · Answer

< kevins8> I guess given that it s somewhat clear what direction this is going in does make sense

kevins8 · Answer

i believe so to make sure i understand you re using the vault in your personal workspace which has multiple vaults and you want to share just this one vault with your team

idan · Answer

correct

idan · Answer

Rather I want the team to share a vault and I would selfishly like to be able to use said vault from inside my existing workspace But if I have to fall back to multiple workspaces I would do that too

kevins8 · Answer

got it in that case something to make it more convenient for your team is to convert the vault to a repo and then create a oneoff workspace for your team which pulls in that repo you can share that workspace repo with your team which will pull in the repo on initialization this also lets you pull in that vault in your own workspace this workflow here https wiki dendron so notes 6DZiBObwhZNYRjnokQ422 html walks through a similar setup

kevins8 · Answer

this would look like the following one off workspace repo repo shared vault repo your workspace shared vault repo your other vaults

idan · Answer

Got it Trying to work out what if anything would be configured at the workspace level that we would actually need to share

kevins8 · Answer

probably nothing intentional currently its just the mechanism that dendron needs in order to initialize otherwise your team members would have to create their own workspace and then import the vault

idan · Answer

I think that s fine maybe better acutally < coolthink 717196925912219659> get them hooked on ~drugs~ dendron
