# Janitor
|
||||
|
||||
To store your personal knowledge graph in markdown files instead of a database, we need some additional tooling to create and maintain relationships with notes.
|
||||
|
||||
**Foam Janitor** (inspired by Andy Matuschak's [note-link-janitor](https://github.com/andymatuschak/note-link-janitor)) helps you migrate existing notes to Foam, and maintain your Foam's health over time.
|
||||
|
||||
Currently, Foam's Janitor helps you to:
|
||||
|
||||
- Ensure your [[link-reference-definitions]] are up to date
|
||||
- Ensure every document has a well-formatted title (required for Markdown Links, Markdown Notes, and Foam Gatsby Template compatibility)
|
||||
|
||||
In the future, Janitor can help you with
|
||||
|
||||
- Updating [[materialized-backlinks]]
|
||||
- Lint, format and structure notes
|
||||
- Rename and move notes around while keeping their references up to date.
|
||||
|
||||
## Using Janitor from VS Code (Experimental)
|
||||
|
||||
Execute the "Foam: Run Janitor" command from the command palette.

|
||||
|
||||
The Janitor can be installed from [NPM](https://www.npmjs.com/) and executed as a standalone CLI tool:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
> npm install -g foam-cli
|
||||
> foam janitor path/to/workspace
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You can run the Janitor as a git hook on every commit to ensure your workspace links are up to date. This can be especially helpful if you edit your markdown documents from other apps.
|
||||
|
||||
You can also run the Janitor from a GitHub action to ensure that all changes coming to your workspace are up to date. This can be useful when editing your Foam notes from mobile (i.e. via [GitJournal](https://gitjournal.io)), or your Foam has multiple contributors and you want to ensure that all changes are correctly integrated.
