Set up shortcuts to your SourceTree repos using Alfred (an installable workflow)
This short guide shows you how to set up access to your SourceTree repos through Alfred. While it’s easy to create custom shortcuts in Alfred, the non-tabbed nature of SourceTree makes it more difficult to set up shortcuts to your Git and Mercurial repositories. Luckily, there’s an installable workflow that works great.
