never fear $ in tutorials again

Never fear tutorials again

Ever see example shell commands like this and wish you could paste them in?

$ rails new myapp
$ cd myapp
$ bundle

Fear no more.

cd ~
mkdir bin
git clone git://gist.github.com/1019041.git ~/bin/magic-dollar
chmod +x ~/bin/magic-dollar/$

In your .bash_profile add the following:

[[ -d $HOME/bin/magic-dollar ]] && export PATH=$PATH":$HOME/bin/magic-dollar"

Thanks

@dwaite for $@ instead of $0 $1 ...
