Neat. Another workflow that you can use is https://github.com/lox/alfred-github-jump

Lets you search through all your GitHub stars (including own GitHub repos).

I have over 16,300 stars and even with that amount of repos, the search is instant due to SQLite db used. (https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/github-stars)

What's cool is that you can modify actions on a repo. So I made modification so that cmd+return would open issues, opt+return would clone repo to ~/clones & open it in VSCode, cmd+shift+return will do file search on repo instantly etc. (https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/small-workflows)

I used to use Alfred for these kind of workflows, for years. For opening apps, URLs, for triggering Python or bash scripts, and for searching files of course. It’s a wonderful app.

Until I started using Emacs seriously. Now I use Emacs for opening URLs, for triggering Google searches (and saving my searches via org-capture), for saving URLs via org-protocol and org-capture, for taking notes, for journaling, for task management (previously OmniFocus, then Things3), and for all kinds of workflows. It is the ideal application framework, with one of the most versatile programming languages I can think of (Lisp); it made me stop using Python for my day-to-day scripting (love Python!).

Emacs (and Lisp) is a tool for the next decades of my life.

Everytime I read about some advanced emacs workflow, it just blows my mind. I mainly use Emacs (doom emacs actually) as a glorified note taking and task manager app with org-mode.

interesting to see how this works!

i made a similar tool for the command line that keeps my downloads organized and knows how to search for them. it also has functionality for returning the repo url so i have an open alias that just opens the repo in github
