Notebook

A notebook is a directory containing a collection of notes managed by zk. Notebooks cannot be nested, but you are free to organize your notes in subdirectories.

To create a new notebook, simply run zk init [<directory>].

Most zk commands are operating "Git-style" on the notebook containing the current working directory (or one of its parents).

Anatomy of a notebook

Similarly to Git, a notebook is identified by the presence of a .zk directory at its root. This directory contains the only zk-specific files in your notebook:

• .zk/config.toml is the user configuration file
• .zk/templates/ contains user templates used when creating new notes
• .zk/notebook.db is the SQLite database enabling powerful search features.
