Something to consider as an alternative to Digital Garden plugins. It seems to be more robust as well.  Originally found via  [this reddit post.](https://www.reddit.com/r/ObsidianMD/comments/1foxvvb/publish_vault_for_free_with_quartz/?chainedPosts=t3_ky0vkg)

	- Quartz made by the [person](https://jzhao.xyz) himself! A wonderful blog and website
- This is a [pretty nice guide](https://notes.nicolevanderhoeven.com/How+to+publish+Obsidian+notes+with+Quartz+on+GitHub+Pages) on how to  use Quartz to publish to Github Pages
- For what it's worth there also seems to be Quartz Publish as a plugin
