yamlfred

The Alfred Workflows management tool with a divide and rule manner.

Alfred Workflows contains README and scripts in single info.plist, and it's hard to maintain by common development methods, edit script with your favorite editor or track script changes with VCS.

yamlfred translate info.plist and generates files, simplified configuration, called workflow.yml, scripts and README.

This enable us to edit each script files or track changes with VCS.

In addition, yamlfred has abilities to extract or create Alfred workflow, translate a workflow.yml into an info.plist and vice a versa.
