Getting Setup

Creating an Alias

In you ~/.bash_profile, add:

alias a="/Applications/Atom.app/Contents/MacOS/Atom $1"

Then run source ~/.bash_profile from your terminal. Open files/directories with:

a .

Where . opens the current directory, or replace . with a file or folder name.

"Atom" -> "Install Shell Commands" will give you atom, so you can use it like:

atom .

or

atom <foo>
