Process

Process is a mega workflow for Alfred that contains a bunch of custom automations that I (Artem Chistyakov, temochka.com) built over the years.

Custom searches

I like to add my searches as workflows because it makes it easier to sync them across multiple machines (I don’t use Dropbox sync).

Rubygems.org

Type gem <query> to jump to a gem on Rubygems.org.

GitHub

Type gh <repo> jump to one of your repositories on GitHub. Blazing fast, makes no API queries in real-time, allows for fuzzy-searching. Hold ⌥ to copy the URL into clipboard instead of opening in the web browser. Set GITHUB_TOKEN to a token with repository access in workflow settings. Use gh-refresh to periodically refresh the cache.

Jekyll

I use this in combination with my jekyll-alfred_json plugin. Type blog <title> to fuzzy-search blog posts. Can insert public URLs, open the Markdown file for editing or even generate Liquid permalinks for quickly inserting into new posts when writing.

Misc

AppleScript launcher

Run a registered AppleScript automation for the currently focused app by pressing the specified shortcut. Alternatively, run a cross-app automation via either:

• proc keyword;
• [[@ snippet trigger.

Requires the SCRIPTS_DIR variable to be set. The specified directory should be structured in the following way: each supported app gets a subdirectory named after its bundle id containing the scripts accompanied by a launcher.json file written in Alfred’s Script Filter format. See my AppleScript collection for an example.

Browser shortcut

Press ⌥+⇧+\ to launch the default browser. Useful if you use diffrent default browsers on different machines and always forget which one is which.

Image sharing

Clip a screenshot (⌘+⌃+⇧+4 or ⌘+⌃+⇧+3), then type imglink keyword into Alfred to upload the image and paste the link. Alternatively, invoke the workflow as a File Action for any file.

The workflow requires the following workflow variables to be set in Alfred:

• IMAGE_UPLOAD_HOSTNAME - the hostname for your image hosting server, e.g. images.example.org;
• IMAGE_UPLOAD_SSH_HOSTNAME - the hostname that provides SSH access to your image hosting server’s filesystem;
• IMAGE_UPLOAD_SSH_USER - the SSH user to use when connecting to the server;
• IMAGE_UPLOAD_WEBROOT_PATH - the server path where to put the uploaded file;

Clipboard manipulation

Convert current clipboard contents to any of the following formats (if possible):

• text
• raw HTML
• RTF interpreted as HTML
• Markdown table
• URL

Bookmarks

Process provides an interface to my radically simple plain text bookmarks manager. Bookmarks are stored in a markdown file in my home directory (~/.bookmarks.md) in the following format:

# Titles are ignored

Bookmark 1
https://example.org/1

## This title is also ignored

Bookmark 2
https://example.org/2

Those bookmarks are searchable via Alfred's Script Filter, like this:
