VMWareMate

Allows you to open paths shared by your host in TextMate from within your VMWare guest OS. Right now this assumes your shared folders are mounted at /mnt/hgfs.

Use it just like you would use the mate command on OS X:

guest-$ mate README
guest-$ ps auxf | mate

Requires

  • rest-client on the guest: http://github.com/adamwiggins/rest-client
  • sinatra on the host: http://github.com/bmizerany/sinatra

Installation

Put mate anywhere in your path on the guest OS. Run mated on the host with the paths to the VMs you're running:

host-$ mated /path/to/MyUbuntu.vmwarevm

Troubleshooting

Go to /info on the host to see what it thinks your shared folders are. If that looks right, then RTFC.
