KT: Send Jekyll Post using 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: This workflow creates a Jekyll post and saves it to a Git repository using Working Copy. It prompts you for the post title, category, and tags to include in the Jekyll front matter.

To use this workflow, change the key and repo variables to match the key and repo name in Working Copy. The key must match the URL key found in Working Copy's Settings > App Integrations section.

Working Copy must be installed to use this workflow. https://workingcopyapp.com
