Initialize a workspace

A workspace is a folder of markdown plus a hidden .mddock/ store that holds the index, history, and recall data.

Standalone vault

Creates

and a starter

manifest.

Drop any .md file in the folder and it's picked up immediately.

Attach to an existing folder

Use this when you already have markdown — including inside a Git repo. MDDock auto-adds .mddock/ to .gitignore so the index isn't committed.

What lands in .mddock/

Everything is local. Nothing leaves your machine until you mddock publish or enable sync.

Detach

To remove MDDock from a folder without losing the markdown: mddock detach. Add --to-vault PATH to convert to a standalone workspace at a new location.
