SourceTree alfred workflow

Search bookmarks in SourceTree and launch them via Alfred.

Credits: This is a swift clone of Alfred_SourceTree by yourtion. Due to the latest release of macOS 12.3, python2 has been removed, which broke the original workflow. So I reimplemented this workflow in Swift. It should be much more stable and faster.

Features

1. support fuzzy search
2. can open repo in your code editor directly by press cmd + enter, using VS Code by default, you can custom it
3. can reveal repo in find by press option + enter

Install

Prepare

1. you must have SourceTree installed
2. you should have unlocked Powerpack in Alfred
3. make sure you have swift available in terminal.(If you have Xcode installed, you can skip this step.):
   1. type swift --version in terminal, if you don't see any version info output, following next step to install it.
   2. type xcode-select --install in terminal to install swift cli tools

Install

download workflow then click the downloaded file to install

Promotion: using sourcetree-custom-actions to add useful actions for SourceTree

Usage

launch alfred then input st and keyword separated with a space to search bookmarks, press enter to launch the bookmark in SourceTree.

Additionally:

select a bookmark, press cmd + enter to open the repo in your favorite code editor, see how to custom code editor select a bookmark, press option + enter to reveal the repo in Finder

Build script to binary

If you are using an old Intel Chip Mac, you may experience the unbearable lagging, that's because of Swift JIT Compiler is pretty slow on Intel Chip.

You can follow the following steps to compile the workflow script to binary to speed up its response speed.

enter st $compile in Alfred then press enter key

If you are using Apple Silicon Macs(like M1, M1 Pro), you can also compile the workflow for better performance

Custom your preferred code editor

1. Open Alfred Preferences panel

2. find and click the SourceTree in Workflows list

3. click Configure Workflow... button bellow the workflow name

4. change the value of Code Editor Config, , multiple values can be set depending on the file extensions in the folder.

   Example:

   # configuration format:
   # [editor cli name]=[extension1, extension2,...]
   # extension case does not matter
   # example, using Xcode for XCode projects
   xed=.xcodeproj,.xcworkspace,package.swift
   
   # using vscode for default
   code=*

   The order of the list is important, the first one that matches will be used.

   Here are some common editors' cli names:

   1. code for VSCode (default)
   2. xed for Xcode
   3. subl for Sublime Text
   4. webstorm for WebStorm
   5. idea for IntelliJ IDEA

   Tips:

   1. If your preferred editor not available in CLI, make sure you've append it's binary file's directory to the PATH
   2. You may need to authorize Alfred to access the folders containing the repos., see here

5. click save button to save variable settings

6. click the bug 🐞 icon in the top right to show the debug log

7. try yourself, if it works, congratulations; if not, check the debug log, make sure the cli name is existing and correct, and PATH contains your cli
