A helper script to push, pull or compare a README.md from the local git repo to what is configured in an Alfred workflow.

See https://www.alfredforum.com/topic/22945-readme-syncer for discussion.

Copy to your $PATH somewhere and make sure it has +x executable bit set.

Run with -h, --help to show syntax.

$ alfred-readme-sync.sh
Display, push, or pull README between Alfred workflow and filesystem
Usage: alfred-readme-sync.sh <command> <uid/path|.>
    -c,--compare   compare README.md <-> Alfred's config version
    --copy         copy Alfred's readme to pasteboard
    --push         copy README.md in → Alfred's readme
    --pull         copy Alfred's readme out → README.md

When run with the -c/--compare flag it will check for and install the icdiff tool for better terminal diff output. If you inspect the source, you will find some alternate tools if you prefer, including sdiff which is included in the base OS.
