[TxMt] Re: mate in command line doesn't fire up textmate

[Juande Santander Vela]

Try directly

  /usr/local/bin/mate

If that works, it is that simply you have removed /usr/local/bin from your path.

BTW, what’s the result of 

  echo $PATH

?

BTW, another way of opening TextMate from the CLI it is by typing:

  open -a TextMate

You can use it for opening documents:

  open -a TextMate ~/.profile

The main difference between “mate” and “open -a TextMate” is that mate has the “modal” -w prefix, but I have never used it.
