This Alfred workflow fuzzy-searches your development directories so you can quickly open projects in VS Code, PhpStorm, iTerm, or Finder.
It’s heavily tailored to how I use it, but you can change the editors quickly and even dig into search.php if you’d like to adjust the configuration of the underlying Fuze library.

Download the .alfredworkflow file from the latest release and double-click to install.
You need to configure an environment variable with your project folder paths, which should be a comma-separated list of directories that contain your project folders.
You can add however many you’d like, and it’ll work fine if you use Alfred on different machines and add paths relevant to each one.
Set this from the Workflows settings, clicking Quick Open Project, then the [x] at the top right, and clicking the Environment Variables tab.
