Dependencies

Alfred 5 with PowerPack.

jq, which you can download at their site.

Nothing else, everything is in a single bash script :)

Usage

ghs {query} will give you a list of all your personal, starred, and organization GitHub repositories. ⏎ on a selected result will open the repository in your default browser.

Setup

After installing the Alfred workflow (download under Releases), click Configure Workflow... in Alfred. In the username text field, enter your GitHub username. In the token text field, generate a "Personal access token" at https://github.com/settings/tokens. You will need to check the following scopes:

  • read:org
  • repo
  • user

You can also customize the ghs command to any command of your choice in the same pane.
