Setup Terminal for Sublime Shorcut "subl":

Open terminal and type:

1. Create a directory at ~/bin:

mkdir ~/bin

2. Copy sublime executable to your ~/bin directory:

ln -s "/Applications/Sublime Text.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl" ~/bin/subl

BASH (Mac OS default) - use these instructions unless you know you have zsh

3a. If using bash (Mac OS default) add line to ~/.bash_profile file:

echo 'export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin' >> ~/.bash_profile

4a. Set sublime as your default editor

echo "export EDITOR='subl -w'" >> ~/.bash_profile

or

ZSH - if you don't know what zsh is you don't have it

3b. If using zsh add line to ~/.zshrc file:

echo 'export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin' >> ~/.zshrc

4b. Set sublime as your default editor

echo "export EDITOR='subl -w'" >> ~/.zshrc

5. Restart terminal and type:

subl .

Sublime should open up in the current directory.

6. Check unix commands:

ls

You should get a directory listing.

Windows

Put the C:\Program Files\Sublime Text 2 in your PATH.

Create a subl.bat file and save it in the directory: C:\Program Files\Sublime Text 2

Inside the file put: start sublime_text.exe %*

the -w should be within the apostrophe's

echo "export EDITOR='subl -w'">> ~/.bash_profile

(assuming you want the shell to wait while you edit)

Thanks for the fix. Updated.

Thank You

Don't forget to run source ~/.bash_profile after make changes to .bash_profile

Thank you!!!
