Fix Sublime's "subl" command on OS X Yosemite.
rm /usr/local/bin/subl;
sudo ln -s "/Applications/Sublime Text.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl" /usr/local/bin/subl;

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.
