Answer 1

You could create an alias with this:

alias last_migration='ls db/migrate/* | tail -n1 | xargs open -a "Textmate"'

and then run it from your terminal:

last_migration

I've to do add *.rb to the ls filter because it didn't worked for me: alias last_migration='ls db/migrate/*.rb | tail -n1 | xargs open -a "MyEditor"' – Callan

Answer 2

No, but you can generate migration in Textmate, using the following shortcut -

"Shift + Control + M"
