Chapter 1: Introduction

This Bash script automates the process of creating a structured folder system for a React Course, including:

• Lectures (1 through 13), each with a sample .md file.
• Projects linking back to related lectures.
• Glossary, Code Snippets, Debugging, and Advanced Topics folders to keep your notes and references organized.
• A React Course Index (MOC) file for easy navigation within Obsidian.

Using this script will save you time and maintain a consistent layout so you can focus on learning React instead of file management.

---

Chapter 2: Requirements & Prerequisites

• Bash Environment: Ensure you have Bash 3+ installed.
  - Most Linux and macOS systems come with it.
  - On Windows, use Git Bash or the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).
• Obsidian: Not strictly required for running the script, but highly recommended for the best note-taking experience. Download it from Obsidian.md.

Chapter 3: Script Overview

1. Creates a Root Folder named React_Course_Vault.
2. Generates Subfolders:
   • Lectures (1–13)
   • Projects, Glossary, Code Snippets, Debugging, Advanced Topics
3. Populates Sample Notes:
   • Each Lecture folder has a .md file with placeholders for summary, key concepts, code examples, and related topics.
   • Projects folders each contain a README.md linking back to the relevant lecture.
   • Glossary, Code Snippets, Debugging, Advanced Topics have starter .md files.
4. Index (MOC) File: A master list (React Course Index.md) linking everything for quick reference.

Chapter 4: How to Use

1. Download/Copy the script (e.g., setup_react_vault.sh) into a local directory.

2. Make Executable:

   chmod +x setup_react_vault.sh

3. Run the script:

   bash ./setup_react_vault.sh

   On some systems, running ./setup_react_vault.sh alone may default to sh—using bash ensures compatibility.

4. Open the generated folder React_Course_Vault to explore your newly created structure.

Chapter 5: Importing into Obsidian

1. Launch Obsidian and select Open folder as vault.
2. Navigate to the React_Course_Vault folder.
3. Enjoy your structured React Course environment! You’ll see:
   • Lectures (1 through 13) with placeholders.
   • Projects, Glossary, Code Snippets, Debugging, Advanced Topics.
   • A convenient React Course Index.md to quickly find notes.

Chapter 7: Customization

• Rename Folders to suit your course or preference.
• Add/Remove Lectures by adjusting the script and deleting or inserting files.
• Expand Content: Fill in placeholders with your own notes, code examples, or screenshots.
• Tweak the Index: Link additional resources or external documentation.

---

Chapter 8: Next Steps in Obsidian

1. Linking Notes: Use [[Double Brackets]] to easily connect lectures, glossary terms, etc.
2. Tagging: Add #React, #Hooks, or #Projects in your notes for quick search.
3. Install Plugins:
   • Templater for faster, more consistent note-taking.
   • (Optional) Another recommended plugin for advanced note management—e.g., "Canvas" for a visual overview.
4. Capture Screens: Make sure to add screenshots of your work or code snippets to enhance your learning and documentation.

---

Chapter 9: Conclusion

You now have a powerful, automated setup to kick-start your React learning or teaching in Obsidian.

Next Steps — To-Do List

• Add Screen Captures: Document your folder structure and lectures visually.
• Install Another Plugin: Canvas or a similar plugin to map out React concepts visually.

Happy Learning & Note-Taking!
