Workspace Setup

A base AppleScript file which can be modified to open relevant programs and folders for individual projects. This is especially useful for switching between projects quickly and easily.

Current Features

Once a path to a project folder has been set, the script can:

  • Open iTerm to project directory
  • Run nodemon using iTerm
  • Start a HTTP Server within the specified directory
  • Start a Jekyll server using iTerm
  • Start Compass to watch and complie SASS files
  • Open the project directory in Finder
  • Open the project directory in Sublime Text 2
  • Check to see if project tab is open in Chrome and show it - if not, open it in a new tab

Many more things are available for automation – feel free to request features or submit your own.

Usage

To use, make a copy of the file, set the project's base directory and optional URL, then delete any features which aren't required.

There are multiple ways to run this AppleScript:

  • Set up individual projects as extensions in Alfred.app, which can then be triggered with a keyword.

  • Set up individual projects as stand-alone Mac apps using Automater (choose 'Application', then 'Run Applescript', add the modified script, then save).

  • Using Apple's default AppleScript Editor.

Future Features

  • Support for more actions in more applications
  • Check if current command output already exists e.g. don't open duplicate iTerm sessions if they are already running
  • More manageable way of cherry-picking code snippets to set up new projects
