MAMP DB File Location
I work on many sites and some of my databases are too large to upload with phpMyAdmin. One of the biggest issues I have had was trying to import a large database into MAMP or take a large database out of MAMP and put it live. Another problem is when I am changing computers or restoring my Mac it is much easier to use Time Machine and grab these files instead of having to create a backup and re-import them. After failing on many searches on Google I finally found out where MAMP stores the DB files.
The path you can find these files is:
/Library/Application Support/living-e/MAMP PRO/db/mysql
For the latest version of MAMP Pro (currently 1.8.1):
/Library/Application Support/appsolute/living-e/MAMP PRO/db/mysql
I assume that if you are running MAMP Pro, you would only need to amend the path to MAMP if not.
Removing .svn directories from a folder in Terminal
Well i was trying to find a way to remove all the .svn files from a directory on OSx.
I found this code worked the best for fully removing all .svn files recursively.
find . -name .svn -print0 | xargs -0 rm -rf
Remember to cd to the directory you are wanting to remove the .svn files from.
cd Sites/project
