Launch Sublime Text 3 using command line

Oct 04 2015

Tooling

Sublime Text 3 ships with a CLI called subl. You will have to do a minor configuration though.

Firstly, check your $PATH by running: echo $PATH.

It should look like this: /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin

Then copy this into terminal:

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

Now typing subl in the command line should open Sublime
