ABOUT
'mate' is a command line toolkit for Magento developers. It was written in a few hours to
tackle the most repetitive tasks. 'mate' is written by Peter Jaap Blaakmeer.
INSTALLATION
1) Put the file in a convenient location (like /var/scripts) and name it 'mate' or 'mate.php'
or 'mate.sh' (or whatever you'd like).
2) Then make it executable ('chmod +x mate'). Open your ~/.bashrc and put in an alias like so;
alias mate='/var/scripts/mate'
3) Reload your bash; 'source ~/.bashrc'.
USAGE
Go into the directory of a Magento installation (any level deep) and run 'mate'.
It'll give a warning if you are not in a Magento tree. Otherwise, it'll output a list of
commands you can use. Certain commands of mate (such as 'compiler' and 'indexer') are just piped
to the existing equivalent file (shell/compiler.php and shell/indexer.php).
