Textmate gem

As I said last week, I created thor while building a binary to handle my textmate bundles.

I wanted a way to install/uninstall/list textmate bundles like gems. Textmate already has a centralized svn repository for its bundles, and there's a way, through AppleScript, to tell Textmate to reload bundles. The end result: a textmate binary that handles textmate bundles like gems.

Pretty cool, huh? If you want it, do <code>gem install wycats-textmate --source http://gems.github.com</code>.
