Host a TextMate Bundle on GitHub

Create a repository on GitHub

Go into the Bundle Editor and drag your bundle to your desktop and cd into it in the terminal. This is the key to the whole thing. If you just go into the bundle where it lives in TextMate, you might not get everything it needs. Dragging the file to the desktop makes it a nice, happy package ready to help other people.

Follow GitHub’s instructions to set up and push to the remote repository. Don’t forget to git add . to get everything in there.

Delete your original bundle and then clone from GitHub like so:

cd ~/"Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/"
git clone git://github.com/trey/trey-tmbundle.git "Trey.tmbundle"
osascript -e 'tell app "TextMate" to reload bundles'

When you make changes to your Git-ified bundle in the Bundle Editor, you’ll need to Reload Bundles for the changes to show up in your repository. Then you’ll need to git add . and commit / push as you would a normal repository.

Bonus: TextMate Integration

To use TextMate to edit your commit messages, put the following in your ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile (or other dot goodness):

export GIT_EDITOR="mate -w"

Since Git is isn’t installed in /usr/bin/git where TextMate expects it, make a symlink:

sudo ln -s `which git` /usr/bin/git

If you want to switch to using self-closing tags like and in certain projects, change the shell variable TM_XHTML for that project to ” /“.

Enter this:

The default behavior for TextMate is to use HTML 4, so you don’t have to do anything extra for those projects.

Deleting changes made to default bundles in TextMate

Trey — Wed, 01 Nov 2006 18:36:52 +0000

From the Help file:

If you want to discard local changes then currently the only option is to delete these from ~/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles.

Of course, you can also just drag them out of that folder in case you want to add them back later. I created a folder called DeltedChanges within ~/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles.
