Your local workflow is now set up. Any changes you make to the workflow will be reflected in the cloned repository.

Add data to the data directory. The data is stored in JSON format. Don't manually add data to the json files which have a .sql file with the same name. These files are sourced from the database.

The index.js and getOptions.js have the logic for the workflow. It is basically just loading the JSON files and filtering them based on the user input.

The Alfred workflow is set up that any result will open a browser window if the returned arg property is a URL or otherwise write the arg out.
