If one tracks his Obsidian Vault via git and renames a note inside the Obsidian-App, the history of the renamed note in git is lost as for git it seems as if the old note has been deleted and a new note with the new name and content of the old note was created instead. The script solves this issue by using git mv to rename the note while at the same time updating all links pointing at the renamed note via the Obsidian CLI.

Description
If one tracks his Obsidian Vault via git and renames a note inside the Obsidian-App, the history of the renamed note in git is lost as for git it seems as if the old note has been deleted and a new note with the new name and content of the old note was created instead. The script solves this issue by using git mv to rename the note while at the same time updating all links pointing at the renamed note via the Obsidian CLI.
Running the script will rename the note currently selected in the frontmost Finder window to the name specified while calling the script. All links inside the Obsidian Vault that point at the renamed note will be updated and the version-history of the renamed note will be preserved.
