dawnstar Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 I sync all my config files (mostly dotfiles) through a github repo. Is there anything in particular that I need to take in count before I sync the ".alfredpreferences" file/folder with github? Here are some concerns: - The ".alfredpreferences" folder is big. I think it's the workflows or images. - I saw some folders are called "local", should I exclude them? Is there any other folders that can be gitignored? - I saw some GUID-like strings and file names. Are they gonna cause conflicts? - github repos are public, any security concerns? - Should I do it after all? Link to comment

I wouldn't recommend using git for syncing the Alfred.alfredpreferences as Alfred (and workflows) use / modify this quite a bit and you may find keeping it in sync and conflict free being a huge pain. I'm not sure if you spotted this, but Alfred can dynamically sync your preferences if you have a syncing service such as Dropbox: https://www.alfredapp.com/help/advanced/sync/ Cheers, Andrew Link to comment
