How to package and share workflow?

[amahabal]

Hi,

 

I have never shared a workflow, planning on doing that tomorrow or next week (basically the Tinderbox flow I described on that forum).

 

What are the current best practices for doing this? I will use github, and the code is Python3 plus some applescript.

 

Thanks!

Looks like quite a powerful workflow. Nice work.

Put the source code (i.e. the contents of the workflow folder) in the GitHub repo and the exported workflow in GitHub releases.

 

It can be a good idea to keep the workflow/source code in a subdirectory of the repo root. That way, you can symlink it to your workflows folder in Alfred without putting the .git directory in Dropbox/iCloud.

 

Be sure to point out that the workflow is Catalina-only (other versions of macOS don't have Python 3).
