Finder New Item Alfred workflow
Swiftly create new items in Finder with support for templates.
* Demo using the mnml Alfred theme.
Templates
Templates are sourced from the workflow itself by default, but this can be overriden by a TEMPLATES environment variable specifying an alternative folder path.
Symbolic links at the root level of the templates directory will be followed such that the original item is copied.
If the selected template would replace an existing item, the two will be compared using your favourite diff tool.
The workflow will respect a .gitignore file in the templates directory, which can itself also be used as a template.
⌥ select to edit template.
⌘ select to reveal original template.
⌃ select to remove template.
Install
This workflow requires Node.js (easily available with Homebrew) and Alfred 3 with the paid Powerpack upgrade.
brew install nodenpm install -g alfred-finder-new-item
