####Create a shortcut so we can launch MacDown from the command line:

ln -s /Applications/MacDown.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/macdown /usr/local/bin/macdown

Now you can open a Markdown file with macdown myfile.md

or start a new project in the current directory with macdown .

Incidentally, this call only works when MacDown is not already running.



######tested with MacDown Version 0.4.4.1 (624) on Apple MacBook Pro (Late 2011) running OS X 10.10.3

This doesn't work for me using MacDown 0.6 and OS X 10.9.5. It just creates a blank document with the name of the given file.
