Nicely structured AppleScript (which is not an easy feat).

Yes, I concur .. for me this project not only has some proper Applescript to learn from, but its install script is genius as well, although it has a bug or two, which you'll see if you try to add an alias for a command you already have ..

Still, a very interesting little bit of scripting to solve a common, age-old problem.

Thanks! It's nice to hear that!

What is the bug you're talking about?

It found a conflict with an existing alias .. 'ul' I think it was .. and then all other aliases were considered in conflict too, even though they for sure were not. On OSX, 'ul' is the 'underline utility' from BSD, dunno if that is worth knowing.

I just hit enter and it soldiered on and then I manually changed the aliases in my .bashrc file ..

I am aware of 'ul' conflict, but I haven't heard of it before, so I just hoped that it's not popular :x If you've found a bug in installation script then please post an issue at GitHub :)

Issue has already been reported: https://github.com/apaszke/termtile/issues/15

Had the same problem as those guys.

EDIT: (for those reading) .. the issue has now been fixed. Kudo's!
