My typical morning usually goes like this:

- put the laptop on desk & turn it on
- get coffee :)
- open adium/textmate/firefox/terminal/etc.
- type: git status in my project’s RAILS_ROOT
- try to recall what I did in those local modifications, and then either copied and pasted (ugh I hate having to use the mouse!) the paths for each file, or tab-completed each file path, to open it in Textmate… or opened the project, cmd-T, searching for each.

The thought had occured to me several times that there must be a better way.

This is what I came up with, and so far, it works for me.

   1  tinsel:bin jm$ ./gitstatus -h
   2  Usage: gitstatus [options] [paths ...]
   3  
   4  Specific Options:
   5      -d, --diff                       Show git diff output for each locally modified file.
   6      -t, --textmate                   Open each locally modified file in Textmate.
   7      -h, --help                       Show this message
