Convert BitBar scripts?

[gingerbeardman]

Is there a recommended manual method or automated utility to convert BitBar "plugins" to TextBar scripts?

There isn’t, but if you send me one I’ll have a quick go. :)

This is the only one I use: https://github.com/matryer/bitbar-plugins/blob/master/Dev/GitHub/notifications.30s.py

It's a GitHub notfications client that allows marking things as Read or opening in your default browser.

Erm. I've had a look and I don't think there is a quick way to covert from BitBar script to TextBar script. It is technically possible, but would require a lot of work in TextBar to handle the different approach.

I'd definitely like to be able to adopt some of the elements of BitBar, but I'm going to struggle to find the time I need to make that change.

Understandable. Thanks though!

I think what would be a help would be to outline the differences in approach so that interested parties (like me) could rebuild a BitBar script for TextBar.
