Editorial Workflows

Hugo Post, Working Copy (v1.1)

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: Creates a Hugo formatted document, saves to a local Git repository in Working Copy then commits & pushes it to the remote Git repository.

How to use:
This Workflow requires the document in Editorial to have been given a file name, and for the WorkingCopyApp.com to be installed and it to have 'Allow URL Actions' enabled in settings.

The workflow requires some configuration before using - to do this the first three steps (highlighted in purple) should be set as follows:

- 'key' matches the secret URL Callback key from App integration settings in the Working Copy App,

- 'repo' matches the repository name of your Hugo site &

- 'categories' matches your list of desired categories.

Features:
You can type a title of Hugo post & description, which default to match the filename, select categories, tags & set a featured image (which will be displayed on the website if your Hugo theme supports it).

To handle filenames in Editorial with spaces, add a Find/Replace action after the 'Get Current Filename' step, find set to 1 space character, and replace set to a - character.

The shared workflow has been updated to v1.1:

Improved handling of source filenames (change spaces to -, ensure all lower case)
