Heimat Flora & Fauna (Anki deck)

Highly opinionated list of interesting flowers and animals. Images mostly coming from Wikipedia.

You will need the CrowdAnki Addon: https://github.com/Stvad/CrowdAnki

Share New Notes/Cards on GitHub

• ❗️ first import if you have pulled the latest & greatest from remote (notes will get lost in git if you don't run the import first)
• (if you first run the export, commit and then do a git pull, yours and other people's changes will get merged by git)
• in Anki, open "File > Export"
• as destination dir, select any directory (probably outside this project to not commit the export)
• then, the exported content will live in a directory with the same name that it has in your Anki
• however the format of the export doesn't meet the expected git repo's format yet, so run this script before commiting

$ npm run after-export -- "<your-deck-folder>"

• this has now updated the notes and media info of this project
• 👍 review and commit the changes and you're done

Import Other People's Note/Card Updates

CrowdAnki expects notes and media_files in a certain format, which includes your personal deck meta data (like learning steps). While CrowdAnki will maintain your learning progress (even when a card receives an update), this script will help to update only the cards, not meta data.

• pull the latest changes from GitHub (probably branch main)
• no need to run the export first - CrowdAnki will not remove any notes from your deck in Anki
• run the merge script 👇 , which creates an updated deck.json in the deck/ directory

$ npm run before-import -- "<your-deck-folder>"  # can be an old export - the deck meta data is the only relevant part here

• after the script did run, in Anki open "File > CrowdAnki: Import from disk"
• chose the deck/ directory
• you may leave the default settings (don't tick the fields under "Einfach" to get the updated cards)
• 👍 You're done
