Curl From Within Text Mate

Posted on May 07, 2010

I have created a small command for textmate that lets you curl a file from within textmate.

The source is on github

Installation

git clone git://github.com/markgandolfo/tmbundle.curl.git

Navigate to the download directory and double click on the curl.tmbundle file

How to use

^ ⌥ ⌘W will pop a dialog box up, place the url in text field and press enter.

The file will download and your project drawer (or project+ drawer) will refresh!

Possible Todo

  • Add progress bar for larger files
  • Possibly download to the current open file path (maybe add a checkbox or something)
  • Maybe add some sort of output if the url can't download for some reason (404, 500, etc.)

Restart Your Rails Server Within Textmate

Posted on December 19, 2009

I tend to find myself needing to restart my rails server in development mode quite often, and found that mongrel like passenger also restarts when tmp/restart.txt is present. So I created a simple command for Textmate which will easily restart the server for my current app i'm working in.

To install:

cd ~/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/Ruby on Rails.tmbundle/Commands
wget http://markgandolfo.com/system/files/2/original/Restart_Server.tmCommand

Then restart Textmate/Reload Bundles.

To use it simple press ^⌥⌘ R buttons, and your app will restart
