Simple zsh wrapper to launch iA Writer from the terminal

README.md

This is a simple script to launch iA Writer from the terminal. It is extremely useful for interacting with Github's own wiki system as it provides git access.

INSTALL

One-liner

curl -L https://raw.github.com/gist/3605724/efcccacb59e5df271ddf603ac92da4deee2440df/ia > /usr/local/bin/ia && chmod u+x /usr/local/bin/ia

Manual, safer way

1. Copy the script below to /usr/local/bin (or anywhere else where you store your custom executables)
2. Make it executable: chmod u+x /usr/local/bin/ia

Usage

Simple launch

$ ia

Launch and open a file

$ ia Home.md

Launch multiple files

$ ia Home.md About.md FAQ.md

#!/bin/zsh

for FILE in "$@"
do
  if [ -e "$FILE" ]; then
    open -a "iA Writer" "$FILE"
  else
    touch "$FILE"
    open -a "iA Writer" "$FILE"
  fi
done;
