Sublime was working just fine until it decided to stop opening files from the terminal. I've been troubleshooting for two hours before finding this, and it worked! Thank you so much.

I created this on Oct 17, 2014 and I can't work out why you need a root shell now. It seems to work fine without it, so updated. - J

Worked! Thanks!

This is why you need a root shell: ln: /usr/local/bin/subl: Permission denied

Updated!

Hey, I know this is an older discussion. But I am quite lost with setting up the subl command. I tried almost everything I could find already and I also tried this. I was able to create the link but if I want to use the command "subl" it says "command not found". Is there anything I am doing wrong? Thanks a lot!

Awesome, it worked!!.
I was having a problem following it up because I was using auto fill command using tab. I noticed that it adds closing quote after auto fill. Keep an eye. Add the closing quote at the end of the first argument.

sudo ln -s "/Applications/Sublime Text.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl" /usr/local/bin/sublime
might be more pleasing (although I use 'sub' as the new command)

Worked great for me as well. Had to drop the 3 I was placing after Sublime Text. You have to get that application name exact or it will not work! Thank you.
