TextMate 2 Bundles

TextMate 2.0 alpha is avaialable for free download here: http://macromates.com/download

Why use TextMate?

Sublime costs money, and TextMate is good enough!

Where Bundles are Located

All of the syntax highlighting and power of TextMate comes from bundles for supporting various languages. What you are looking for is a ".tmbundle" extension.

My bundles are located in two places. For bundles that come preinstalled with TextMate:

~/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Managed/Bundles

3rd party bundles I installed myself are in:

~/Library/Application Support/Avian/Bundles

Installing Bundles

To install a bundle, find it on github, and navigate to your 3rd party bundle folder. Then simply:

$ git clone git://github.com/REPOSITORY.git BUNDLE_NAME.tmbundle

The BUNDLE_NAME does not matter, and usually the author of the bundle will make a suggestion.
