'mate' is a command line toolkit for Magento developers. It was written in a few hours to tackle the most repetitive tasks. 'mate' is written by Peter Jaap Blaakmeer.
- Put the file in a convenient location (like /var/scripts) and name it 'mate' or 'mate.php' or 'mate.sh' (or whatever you'd like).
- Then make it executable ('chmod +x mate'). Open your ~/.bashrc and put in an alias like so; alias mate='/var/scripts/mate'
- Reload your bash; 'source ~/.bashrc'.
Or just place it in your $PATH.
Go into the directory of a Magento installation (any level deep) and run 'mate'.
It'll give a warning if you are not in a Magento tree. Otherwise, it'll output a list of commands you can use. Certain commands of mate (such as 'compiler' and 'indexer') are just piped to the existing equivalent file (shell/compiler.php and shell/indexer.php).
mate index/indexer (run 'mate indexer options' to see all options)
mate reindexall - shortcut for mate index reindexall
mate compiler (run 'mate compiler' to see all options')
mate connect (run 'mate connect' to see all options)

mate toggle Package_Module - toggle the status of a module
mate skeleton Package Module Version - create a skeleton module for development
mate backup {absolute_path} - make a database dump to database-TIMESTAMP.sql or, if absolute_path is specified, to that path (ie /home/backups/backupfile.sql)
mate import {sqlfilename} - import a backupped database - if sqlfilename is ommitted, database.sql will be assumed
mate events - list all events (for observers) found in the codebase/
mate cc/cache - clear cache

mate minstall {version} {db_name} {sample} {sampleversion}- install Magento (use '1600' or '1.6.2.0' for {version}). Give up {db_name} to automatically create database. Use 'sample' for {sample} to download sample data file.
mate resetmods - reset all permissions of dirs to 775 and files to 664
mate devurl - set the secure & unsecure base url to {{base_url}} for during development
mate hints (admin/scope id/leave empty) on/off - turn the template hints on and off for store or admin

mate events - look for all events that are available within this installation
mate logs [enable/disable] / [on/off] - enable/disable logging to var/log/system.log
mate backup - create a backup of the current database (saves to database.sql)
mate import {filename} - import a backup into the current database (caution; will drop all tables). When filename is omitted, 'database.sql' is assumed
mate translations {package} {module} {language} - find untranslated translation strings in a module for any given language. Language defaults to 'nl_NL'
