Convert TextMate themes into iTerm 2 color schemes.

tm2iterm.rb

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
#
# This script is an astonishing feat of top notch
# rockstar craftsmanship. It totally uses artificial
# intelligence to extract colors out of tmTheme and
# build an itermcolors scheme file for iTerm2.
#
# I know this sounds crazy, but it actually knows
# approximately what colors should be used in the
# ANSI list, and tries to find nearest colors from
# the given tmTheme. This level of intelligent guessing
# has never been achieved before in the field of
# converting TextMate themes into iTerm color schemes.
# Never.
#
#
# USAGE
#
# Step 1. Make sure you have plist gem installed
#   gem install plist
#
# Step 2. Make it executable
#   chmod +x tm2iterm.rb
#
# Step 3. Execute it
#   ./tm2iterm.rb /path/to/some.tmTheme /path/to/output.itermcolors
#
# Step 4. Double click the itermcolors file
#   iTerm2 will pick up the scheme and add it to the list
