Quick Start

Get your Alfred preferences synced in a few steps.

Initial Setup

1. Clone the Repository

git clone <your-repo-url> ~/Sync/AlfredPrefs
cd ~/Sync/AlfredPrefs

2. Link Alfred Preferences

Replace Alfred's default preferences with a symlink to this repository:

# Backup existing preferences first (if they exist)
mv ~/Library/Application\ Support/Alfred/Alfred.alfredpreferences \
   ~/Library/Application\ Support/Alfred/Alfred.alfredpreferences.backup

# Create the symlink
ln -s ~/Sync/AlfredPrefs/Alfred.alfredpreferences \
   ~/Library/Application\ Support/Alfred/Alfred.alfredpreferences

3. Restart Alfred

Quit and relaunch Alfred. Your workflows and snippets will now be loaded from this repository.

Daily Usage

Sync Your Changes

After modifying workflows or snippets in Alfred:

cd ~/Sync/AlfredPrefs
./alfred-sync.sh

That's it! Your changes are now committed and pushed.

Pull Changes from Another Machine

cd ~/Sync/AlfredPrefs
git pull

Then restart Alfred to load the updated preferences.

Sync Script

The alfred-sync.sh script does the following:

cd /Users/timmy/Sync/AlfredPrefs
git add -A
git commit -m "sync YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM"
git push

Customize the path in the script if your repository location differs.

Troubleshooting

Alfred doesn't show new workflows

Restart Alfred from the menu bar
Check that the symlink is correctly created

Sync fails

Ensure you have git access to the repository
Check your SSH keys or authentication

Changes not appearing

Run git pull to get latest changes
Restart Alfred after pulling
