Making custom changes to a standard Sublime Text Packages

Let us look at how to make custom changes to a sublime text package. This is useful for couple of reasons:

  • Learn how existing packages work
  • Make modifications to existing packages
  • Make your own new packages!

You can go about this through the following steps:

  • Install Extract Sublime Package using Package Control
  • Add the following configuration to extract .sublime-package files:
    • "extract_sublime_package_ask_on_open": true
  • Open the .sublime-package file using Sublime Text. It will ask confirmation to extract the files to the Packages directory
  • That's it! The package in the Packages directory takes preference. Any changes made are refreshed by Sublime Text in real time. You can test out the changes on the fly!
