TM-Terminal

defines a TextMate command called Export TM_* Variables to Terminal. This command replicates the environment of the running TextMate instance and injects it into a shell inside Terminal.app, together with some supporting functionality. This setup creates a first approximation to a “TextMate REPL”, which may be useful for debugging your own bundles or semi-related stuff, e.g. for testing how commands would run with Rubinius as TM_RUBY.

All of this could be done from within TextMate itself, but I thought some people might prefer using their shell directly. I certainly do. ;-)

Installation
