Sublime Text includes a command line tool, subl, to work with files on the command line. This can be used to open files and projects in Sublime Text, as well working as an EDITOR for unix tools, such as git and subversion.
Requirements
- Sublime text 2 or 3 installed in your system within
Applicationsfolder
Setup
In order to launch sublime from command line you only need to create a symlink /usr/local/bin/subl point to sublime app, to do so run the following in the command line.
Sublime Text 2
ln -sv "/Applications/Sublime Text 2.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl" /usr/local/bin/subl
Sublime Text 3
ln -sv "/Applications/Sublime Text.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl" /usr/local/bin/subl
Test it out
type in command line
subl test.rb
it should open new file test.rb sublime text
NOTE: To accomplish this you must:
have created a directory where you actually place binaries /usr/local/bin if not make it before creating a symlink:
mkdir -p /usr/local/bin
have /usr/local/bin in your PATH environment variable, if not add by running the following command:
echo 'export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bash_profile
then reload the shell:
source ~/.bash_profile
test again.
