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.

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.
ln -sv "/Applications/Sublime Text 2.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl" /usr/local/bin/subl
ln -sv "/Applications/Sublime Text.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl" /usr/local/bin/subl
open a new file from the command line:
subl test.rb
it should open new file test.rb
in Sublime Text
open a project folder
subl dir/project
to launch Sublime app
subl
for more detailed options use the help:
subl -h
run the command as follows:
git config --global core.editor "subl -w"
to config git to use Sublime Text as editor only for a particular repository/project run the same command above without --global
option.
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
