Command line Arduino compiling and uploading?

Question

How do I compile and upload Arduino sketches from the command line on Mac and Linux? I\'ve installed the Arduino programming environment. Are there some sample makefiles an

You can use biicode (it's a project I'm working in) which is based on CMake (but you don't actually need to write any cmake file) and is also a tool to manage Arduino libraries

It's main features are:

• Dependencies resolution, transitively, as maven does, but without config files: reads dependencies directly from source code.
• Central repository, anyone can upload their libraries. They can be explored, navigated and discovered in the web
• Version control: it checks versions compatibility and allows safe updates of dependencies
• You can use it with any text editor (it has optional eclipse integration)
• It manages project setup and compilations, flashes generated firmware to the board

You can see a quick demo here and read more in the documentation.
