Sublime Text

subl Shell command

For convenience, we can create a shell command or alias for Sublime Text as bellow:

#bash shell
ln -s "/Applications/Sublime\ Text.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl" /usr/bin/subl

#zsh shell
alias subl="'/Applications/Sublime Text.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl'"
alias nano="subl"
export EDITOR="subl"

Active the subl command in current shell:

#bash shell
source ~/.bashrc

#zsh shell
source ~/.zshrc

Now, we can open anything with Sublime Text in our shell as bellow:

subl .
# more help
subl help
