Open All Edited and Uncommitted Files in a Single Command

At the begining of my daily coding job I often find myself in a situation when I got to start with the files edited the previous day. If it's a lenthy feature and many files are touched, most of the times I use git status to check the updated files and start opening them one by one in Textmate. Not a complex task at all but seems boring to me. I decided to spend some time to automate this.

And the following is the single line shell script I came up with.

(mate .;set -v off;for line in $(git status --porcelain|awk '$0=$NF' FS=' ');do;mate $line;done)

This will fire up the TextMate and the opens all the edited or newly created files shows up in git status list.

Here's what I came up with: a small obfuscated ruby snippet showing abbreviated organization name as an ascii art and outputs the endearing nickname as a string.

exit = "don't exit" in IRB :)

To close your IRB session you commonly type 

exit
and hit <enter>.

Now put 

exit = "don't exit"
. Trying with exit will now print 
"don't exit"

How'll you exit then? Well, the other options you have are 

quit OR CTRL + z
If you really want to quit using 
exit
command then use 
exit()

In ruby the parenthesis is optional for a method call. But if a namesake variable exists then it'll get the priority. You have to use the parenthesis to call the method in this scenario.
