Embed GitLab Plugin for Obsidian

An Obsidian plugin that embeds GitLab resources (issues, merge requests, projects, and more) directly into your notes for quick reference and better context.

Getting Started

1. Install the Obsidian GitLab Embeds plugin.
2. Paste a supported GitLab URL (issue, merge request, repository, etc.) into a note.
3. Switch to preview mode to see the embed rendered.

Contribute

Contributions are welcome!

• Feel free to open issues for bugs, feature requests, or improvements.
• Submit pull requests if you want to add features or fix issues.
• Make sure to follow the existing code style and test your changes in Obsidian.

Local Setup

To develop and test the plugin locally:

1. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/oliviergoulet5/obsidian-gitlab-plugin.git
   cd obsidian-gitlab-plugin

2. Install dependencies

   npm ci
   

3. Make changes
   Write your feature or bug fix.

4. Build the plugin

   npm run build
   

5. Link to your Obsidian vault
   Copy the main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css (if present) to your vault’s plugin folder:

   <your-vault>/.obsidian/plugins/obsidian-gitlab-embeds/
   

   Alternatively, you can make this automatic by either cloning into the plugins directory, or by creating a symlink. This should be more convenient.

6. Toggle to enable the plugin
   Open Obsidian → Settings → Community Plugins → Enable Obsidian GitLab Embeds.
