# Paste this script to "Alfred Preference > Advanced > Terminal",
# selecting "Application" to "Custom".

# In addition, create an iTerm2 profile with string "Alfred" in its Name,
# for example, "Working with Alfred".
#
# The script below will open the first iTerm2 session with such profile,
# or create a new window with that profile if not found. The command
# will be executed there.
