SVNMate - an SVN TextMate plugin

I use SVN to keep my work files synced to my portable hard drive and work iMac and for keeping some of my other projects synced up with an online SVN account. TextMate is my chosen tool for website authoring so this SVNMate plugin is really useful. To install just download the plugin and drag it’s icon onto the TextMate icon. Then open TextMates Preferences > Shell Variables and add TM_SVN and the location of your SVN install, in my case that’s /usr/local/bin/svn. I really wish I’d found this sooner.

Online code snippet manager

Snipplr.com is a website where you can store all of your frequently used code snippets. I find it’s useful to have certain bits of code accessible from wherever I find myself working. A killer feature for me however is the TextMate bundle. This allows your snippets to be pasted straight into whatever file is being worked on simply by using a keystroke. Snippets can also be saved back to the site via the bundle.

As everyone can view everyone else’s snippets I’m finding it a good place to start when trying to figure stuff out.
