you can also do this if you want to open the parent directory of the selected file:

FOLDER="$(dirname "$@")"
/Applications/Sublime\ Text.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl -n $FOLDER

Requirement -> /bin/bash

Originally tried /usr/bin/zsh but that threw errors.

For my environment, I needed to wrap $@ in quotes

/Applications/Sublime\ Text.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl -n "$@"

or else it opened up a bunch of nonsense when the path contained whitespace.

Thank you 👍
