mm is the executable that powers MavensMate Force.com IDEs. You can use mm to perform every important task relative to developing on the Force.com platform. For example, to compile a project:
$ mm compile_project
You can also use mm to provide a default UI for tasks like creating a new project, editing a project, running unit tests & anonymous apex, & deploying metadata to servers. Just use the --ui flag:
$ mm new_project --ui
In order to provide context to your operation, pipe json to mm via STDIN. For example:
$ mm compile_project <<< '{ "project_name" : "myproject" }'
