Github workflows- how to implement them in Alfred

[Binyamino]

Hello everyone

 

I have been using Alfred for the past few weeks. I am positive I don't get the most out of it because I don't know how to install workflows from GitHub. some I was able, but most things I see there, I just don't know what to do with.

 

for example this https://github.com/beet/alfred_audio_switcher#readme over here, that switches between sound output. what do I do with that? how do I install it in Alfred and start using it?

 

Thanks in advance! 

 

 

there were so many more workflows that I wanted to use before that I simply gave up because I don't know how to install them. I feel like I wasted the money on this software, which I am sure I am wrong, it's just that I don't know how work with it. 

please help me and educate me so I can enjoy this app as other praise it so much

 

p.s. I have Alfred 5 and my system is Ventura

@Binyamino Welcome to the forum

 

A good place to start with workflows is the official Gallery where you'll find workflows that have been reviewed and are ideal for newbies as we've ensured they have a good readme, configuration is made as easy as possible, etc. 

 

https://alfred.app

 

To use Gallery workflows, click the "Install in Alfred" button.

 

As for Github workflows, you'll find a little variation in how different creators present their pages:

• Some will include an obvious download link in the readme, which you can click to download the .alfredworkflow file
• In other cases, you'll need to click the "Releases" link in the right side of the page to see the latest release and grab the workflow there

Once the .alfredworkflow file is in your Downloads, double-click it and Alfred's preferences will launch to the Workflows tab and offer to import the workflow.
