This seems like a better-documented, less-complete, and less user-friendly version of Secrets[1]. [1] http://secrets.blacktree.com

I've actually never run into Secrets! Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I will certainly be adding more to it over time. Do you have any specific suggestions?

"This will download and install all updates available for your Mac: sudo softwareupdate -i -a"

I'm assuming that it won't install App Store software that is in your account but not installed on the current machine? Which if so is a shame that Apple haven't exposed this via the command line (preferably specifying the name of the application to install).

I believe it does. I will spin up an OS X VM and test it later tonight, since my MBPr is fully up to date. I will of course update the site with what I find.

You can actually specify the application as well, IIRC. I will verify all of that later this evening when I'm in a place to do it.

I use Karabiner to customize just two keys, does anyone know how can I make the enter key act as a control key when pressed simultaneously with another key and act as enter key when pressed alone? was thinking of a script that is called at startup.
