Editorial Workflows

Jekyll Publish (Working Copy)

public workflow

Install Workflow...

This workflow contains at least one Python script. Only use it if you trust the person who shared this with you, and if you know exactly what it does.

I understand, install the workflow!

This is a workflow for Editorial, a Markdown and plain text editor for iOS. To download it, you need to view this page on a device that has the app installed.

Description: Requirements for this workflow:
* Working Copy

This workflow creates the front matter for a Jekyll post and saves the file to a Git repository using Working Copy. It asks the user for tags to include into the front matter. My full setup I am using this in is explained at https://blog.neverthesamecolor.net/ipad-only-blogging/

The markdown document is scanned for image references and commits the referenced files from the “assets/“ folder to the repository.

To use this workflow, change the key and repo variables to match the key and repo name in Working Copy.
