Git is great for development, but the .pref files are binary and not readable on GitHub, so this shortcut converts them to a readable .xml file format before committing them so that you can see and read the changes more readily.

With Private Repositories being free now on GItHub I think this is a great way to keep your shortcuts safe.

Features:

• Converts shortcut code to .xml format so they are readable on github
• Seperately, Creates dated backup folders in iCloud to be able to restore a shortcut easily from a pervious day without going through Git.
• Asks for a Commit message and automatically commits via Working Copy

Requirements:

• Working Copy app
• Working copy callback URL Key from the Working Copy app (per device)
• Github optional, but free. Set the integration up in Working Copy.

Future:

I am actually pretty new to both Git and Working Copy. So, this is just a start.

Ideas for further enhancement: - Add option to pull in previous version from the git repository automatically (converting it back to .plist and restoring it in the Shortcuts app) - Add a seperate commit messages per shortcut.
