coda makes Panic's Coda a first-class *nix citizen
This tool provides shell integration for Coda. You can now open files and directories from a terminal:
coda foo.html
coda foo.html bar.css
coda ./
If foo.html or bar.css doesn't exist, coda will create it automatically
for you.
You can also edit a file and wait for it to close (-w or --wait). This is
really important if you plan on making coda your default $EDITOR. Now you
can use Coda for writing Git or SVN commit messages. Simply add this line to
your .bash_profile or .bashrc or .zshrc:
export EDITOR='coda -w'
In addition to knowing how to wait, coda plays nice with pipes. You can use
it just like any other POSIX utility... Invoke it from the command line and pass
the output from any command to Coda, or from Coda to another command. Try a
couple of these:
echo 'foo' | coda
echo 'bar' | coda >> out.txt
coda >> somefile.html
find . -name "*.css" | xargs coda
coda < config.yaml > config_new.yaml
Note that piping output from coda implies --wait.
Installation
Make sure coda is executable and somewhere in your $PATH. The easiest way to
do that is with Homebrew ...
brew update
brew install coda-cli
Or you can strike out on your own:
mkdir -p /usr/local/bin
curl https://raw.github.com/bobthecow/coda-cli/master/coda > /usr/local/bin/coda
chmod 777 /usr/local/bin/coda
Usage
coda --help
