Sync your Sublime Text Settings using iCloud Drive on multiple Macs
# Notes
# Using iCloud Drive, you can sync your Sublime Text
# plugins and prefs so you can always have the same setup
# Prerequisites
# Make sure both machines have the latest version of OSX 10.10.x with
# Yosemite or higher and iCloud Drive turned on
# Quit Sublime Text
# Pick a machine with Sublime Text that has the latest setup you want to start with
# Run step 1 and wait for your iCloud files to sync across the network
# Run step 2 on other machine(s) to duplicate the same settings
# Open up Sublime Text on the new machines and wait while Sublime Text updates your packages
# If you're using any system wide packages on the host machine
# (e.g. those installed via npm i -g) be sure to replicate them on the
# host machine(s) as well
# If your Sublime Text doesn't have Package Control make sure to install it
# https://packagecontrol.io/installation
# Step 1) run this on the host mac that has the latest ST settings & packages
cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/Sublime\ Text/Packages
mkdir -p ~/Library/Mobile\ Documents/com\~apple\~CloudDocs/Sublime\ Text/Plugins
mv User ~/Library/Mobile\ Documents/com\~apple\~CloudDocs/Sublime\ Text/Plugins
ln -s ~/Library/Mobile\ Documents/com\~apple\~CloudDocs/Sublime\ Text/Plugins/User
# Optional backup the User folder on the agent mac before wiping it out
cp -R ~/Library/Application\ Support/Sublime\ Text/Packages/User ~/User
# Steps 2) run this on your agent machine(s) you want mirroring the mac from step 1
cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/Sublime\ Text/Packages
rm -rf User
ln -s ~/Library/Mobile\ Documents/com\~apple\~CloudDocs/Sublime\ Text/Plugins/User
