Sublime Merge includes a command line tool, smerge, to work with git, subversion, mercurial projects on the command line. This can be used to open projects in Sublime Merge using the command line.

Requirements

• Sublime Merge installed in your system within Applications folder

In order to launch sublime from command line you only need to create a symlink /usr/local/bin/smerge point to sublime merge app, to do so run the following in the command line.

Sublime Merge

ln -sv "/Applications/Sublime Merge.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/smerge" /usr/local/bin/smerge

You can use any name whlie creating the symlink like /usr/local/bin/sm

Test it out

type in command line

smerge myGitProject

it should open the project using Sublime Merge

---

NOTE: To accomplish this you must:

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

test again.
