First, make sure you have Quartz [[index#🪴 Get Started|cloned and setup locally]].
|
|
|
|
|
This page walks you through the full Quartz setup: from cloning the repository to previewing your site locally, then pushing it to GitHub.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then, create a new repository on GitHub.com. Do **not** initialize the new repository with `README`, license, or `gitignore` files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
![[github-init-repo-options.png]]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
At the top of your repository on GitHub.com's Quick Setup page, click the clipboard to copy the remote repository URL.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
![[github-quick-setup.png]]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In your terminal of choice, navigate to the root of your Quartz folder. Then, run the following commands, replacing `REMOTE-URL` with the URL you just copied from the previous step.
|
|
|
|
|
## 1. Clone Quartz
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
|
# list all the repositories that are tracked
|
|
|
|
|
git remote -v
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# if the origin doesn't match your own repository, set your repository as the origin
|
|
|
|
|
git remote set-url origin REMOTE-URL
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# if you don't have upstream as a remote, add it so updates work
|
|
|
|
|
git remote add upstream https://github.com/jackyzha0/quartz.git
|
|
|
|
|
git clone -b v5 https://github.com/jackyzha0/quartz.git
|
|
|
|
|
cd quartz
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then, you can sync the content to upload it to your repository. This is a helper command that will do the initial push of your content to your repository.
|
|
|
|
|
> [!note]
|
|
|
|
|
> Quartz 5 is currently in beta, so the default branch is still v4. The `-b v5` flag ensures you clone the right branch.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## 2. Install Dependencies
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
|
npx quartz sync --no-pull
|
|
|
|
|
npm i
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
> [!warning]- `fatal: --[no-]autostash option is only valid with --rebase`
|
|
|
|
|
> You may have an outdated version of `git`. Updating `git` should fix this issue.
|
|
|
|
|
> [!note]
|
|
|
|
|
> On subsequent clones of your own repository (e.g. on a new machine), use `npm ci` instead for a faster, reproducible install from the lockfile.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|

|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
> git config http.postBuffer 524288000
|
|
|
|
|
> ```
|
|
|
|
|
## 3. Initialize Your Site
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In future updates, you can simply run `npx quartz sync` every time you want to push updates to your repository.
|
|
|
|
|
Run the interactive setup wizard:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
> [!tip] First-time plugin install on a fresh clone
|
|
|
|
|
> The Quartz template ships with a `quartz.lock.json` that pins community plugins to specific commits. On a brand-new clone those pins may be older than the plugins' current dependency versions, which can cause a handful of plugins to fail to build on first install. If you hit build errors during initial setup, run:
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
|
npx quartz create
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This will prompt you for:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- A **template** (`default`, `obsidian`, `ttrpg`, `blog`) — pick the one that matches your use case. See [[create#Templates]] for details on each.
|
|
|
|
|
- A **content strategy** — choose how to populate the `content/` folder:
|
|
|
|
|
- **new**: Start with an empty folder
|
|
|
|
|
- **copy**: Copy files from an existing folder (e.g. your Obsidian vault)
|
|
|
|
|
- **symlink**: Link to an existing folder so changes sync automatically
|
|
|
|
|
- A **base URL** — the URL where your site will be deployed (e.g. `mysite.github.io/quartz`). Don't include `https://`.
|
|
|
|
|
- A **link resolution** strategy — how to resolve internal links (`shortest`, `absolute`, or `relative`). Skipped for Obsidian and TTRPG templates.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For non-interactive usage and more details, see the [[create|`quartz create` CLI reference]].
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## 4. Install Plugins
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The template you chose references community plugins that need to be installed:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
|
npx quartz plugin install --from-config
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This downloads and builds all plugins listed in `quartz.config.yaml` into `.quartz/plugins/`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
> [!tip]
|
|
|
|
|
> If some plugins fail to build, try refreshing them to their latest versions:
|
|
|
|
|
>
|
|
|
|
|
> ```bash
|
|
|
|
|
> npx quartz plugin install --latest
|
|
|
|
|
> ```
|
|
|
|
|
>
|
|
|
|
|
> This refreshes every plugin to the latest commit on its default branch and rewrites `quartz.lock.json`. See [[troubleshooting#Plugins fail to build on a fresh clone]] for details.
|
|
|
|
|
> See [[troubleshooting#Plugins fail to build on a fresh clone]] for more details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## 5. Preview Your Site
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
|
npx quartz build --serve
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Your site is now running at `http://localhost:8080`. The dev server watches for file changes and reloads automatically.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
At this point you can [[authoring-content|start writing content]] in the `content/` folder. When you're ready to publish, continue below to push your site to GitHub and [[hosting|deploy it]].

## Setting Up Your GitHub Repository
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To publish your site, you'll need your own GitHub repository.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Create the Repository
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Create a new repository on [GitHub.com](https://github.com/new). Do **not** initialize it with a README, license, or `.gitignore` — the Quartz clone already has these.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
![[github-init-repo-options.png]]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Copy the repository URL from the Quick Setup page:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
![[github-quick-setup.png]]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Connect Your Local Clone
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Point your local Quartz at your new repository:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
|
# Check current remotes
|
|
|
|
|
git remote -v
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Point origin to your repository
|
|
|
|
|
git remote set-url origin REMOTE-URL
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Add the official Quartz repo as upstream (for future upgrades)
|
|
|
|
|
git remote add upstream https://github.com/jackyzha0/quartz.git
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Push Your Site
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
|
npx quartz sync --no-pull
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This commits your content and pushes everything to your repository. For subsequent updates, just run:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
|
npx quartz sync
|
|

```
