I didn't really use a guide to learn how to use them all together, I simply wrote my notes on VSCode (now Obsidian) and saved them as markdown files. I then used Github Desktop to add it as a local repository and then to publish it as a remote repository on Github (https://github.com/BCDShaw/notes/blob/main/readme.md).
I'm using acreom for my note taking. Would highly recommend. You can still use github for backups.
it might sound like a lot, but it's actually really lightweight and easy to use. Check it out: https://github.com/dmarx/bench-warmers
I study CS and a fellow student hosts a Wiki.js server where we summarize lecture information. Wiki js supports mermaid markdown preview out-of-the-box too and for us the big advantage of mermaid diagrams is that the mermaid diagrams are search-indexed, while the content of pictures would obviously not be search-indexed.
The Omnisearch plugin might be what you need. No AI but weighted results depending on where your query words are found (filename, titles, frequency...). It works well for me, it's my primary way to find notes.
For AI powered search there's Kohj but the installation is a bit technical.
Others recommend Obsidian, i recommend https://logseq.com/ Its open source and filebased, so even without the program, you can read every note. Its save in Markdown. And i you tried Obsidian you can simply use the Obsidian-Vault and you can switch between both programs. I'm syncing with my nextcloud on the desktops and with Syncthing on my smartphone. But they have a paid sync-service as well thats beta currently. I'm not using that one :)
I use this obsidian-export CLI program to convert prior to pushing to my repo and it's been working pretty well. This gives me a read-only version of my notes that is accessible from devices I don't have obsidian on (work laptop, for example).
Syncthings Download: https://syncthing.net/ (Syncthings has a mobile app on your phone as well, since you'll need it on all devices you want to sync together).
I use Github Desktop, which you can get here: https://desktop.github.com/
