How to create a custom macOS Finder action to create a text file inside a folder
View create-txt-files-in-macos-finder.md

Being able to create plain text files easily anywhere in Finder helps with using the iCloud-backed native file system for personal knowledge management. It's my preferred alternative to third-party apps whose longevity may be uncertain.

Create an Automator service

  1. Open Automator.
  2. From Library, choose "Utilities", then "Run AppleScript" action.
  3. At the top of the workflow window, you'll see a few dropdown menus. Set the first one ("Workflow receives current") to "files or folders", and the second one to "Finder".
  4. Paste the following AppleScript code:
View find_unused_helpers.rb
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
#
# Shotgun approach (read: slow and dirty hack) to help find unused helpers in a Rails application
#
puts "Loading all source files into memory :("
source = {}
Dir["app/**/**/*.*"].each do |f|
next if f.include?("app/assets")

Fetching source index from https://rubygems.org/
Could not verify the SSL certificate for https://rubygems.org/.
There is a chance you are experiencing a man-in-the-middle attack, but most
likely your system doesn't have the CA certificates needed for verification. For
information about OpenSSL certificates, see bit.ly/ruby-ssl. To connect without
using SSL, edit your Gemfile sources and change 'https' to 'http'.

Workaround for Semaphore regression on 2013-07-07/08, bundler missing for Ruby 1.9.2.

If your project is using Ruby 1.9.2, add these build setup commands to avoid the regression:

rbenv local 1.9.2-p320
gem install bundler --no-ri --no-rdoc

Update: regression has been fixed
