Open a file in TextMate 2 with the command line

# original found on Twitter somewhere
# replaces the 'mate' command that came with TextMate 1.5
# create an empty file if it doesn't exist (TextMate 2 currently won't do this for you)
# this goes in your .profile

# this appears to be no longer necessary with build 9064 of TextMate 2
# you may still need to go into TextMate | Preferences | Terminal and install
# it. I chose /usr/local/bin since ~/bin didn't exist and wasn't in my PATH

function mate() {
  if [ ! -e $1 ];
  then 
    touch $1;
  fi
  open -a TextMate $1;
}
