Introduction to howdoi
Are you a hack programmer? Do you find yourself constantly Googling for how to do basic programming tasks?
Suppose you want to know how to use the `tar` command. Why open your browser and read through blogs (risking major distraction) when you can simply stay in Alfred and ask:
$ howdoi properly use tar command
> tar -czf /tmp/workspace.tar.gz .
Installation

Notes
If `howdoi` is installed to a non-standard Homebrew location (or with `pip`) then you need to tell Alfred about your appropriate `PATH`.
Open the Workflow in Alfred
Click "prepare workflow configuration" in the top right (the icon looks like `(x)`)
Select the "Environment Variables" tab
Make a new entry with name PATH and value as the text output of entering echo $PATH in a terminal, e.g. `/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Users/username/.homebrew/bin`.
