Sublime Text Quick Tip: Launch Sublime Text from the Terminal

In this Sublime Text Quick Tip, we're going to find out how to run Sublime Text from the Terminal.

If you navigate from your terminal frequently, it can be a pain to open up Finder and open your files and projects that way. Being able to open these projects and files from the terminal is much more convenient.

Thanks man. That was useful to me though it was made 9 years ago

[First.nameLastname]

Damn I wish I knew this years ago! Thanks.

[I_Mackenzie]

Great little vid Corey. I'd love to see one on using the JavaScript console from Sublime, also one on using the GitGutter plugin.

Mac users may have to type 'sudo' before the last entry, so use:

sudo ls -la /usr/local/bin/ | grep subl

[AntonKastritskiy]

Actually thought earlier how do I do this, thanks for the video

[ChintsVadgama]

For mac enter this command into terminal:

ln -s "/Applications/Sublime Text ~/.rvm/bin/subl

[selenewaide]

thank you again for another great video!!

[johnbuzzell]

Hey Corey, stumbled across your YouTube video trying to remember how to allow you to launch Sublime from within the terminal. It creates the link but when I try to open a file in Sublime. It tells me the command doesn’t exist. Any help you can find the time to help me out I will greatly appreciate it

[Bruh-bgmb]

Can I do the opposite? When I finish some python code i want to be able to quickly launch terminal with "python .<file name>.py'

[Throwingness]

Thank you. Way better video on the subject than that one by Apple Juice Teaching. That guy is a fruit.

[itskllacam]

So I did everything but i seem to mess up the link to open sublime in my terminal, how do I fix that?

[LightS_bRight]

does this same process work for windows?

[吴佳慧-gt]

Thank you so much for the tutorial, however, it seems that whenever I opened through subl somefile.py, it opens a file with the name but no content. Seems it created a new file with the same name. Could you tell me how to fix it?

[tamilstalin]

Corey, How i can setup this for Windows ?

[gaunterodimm]

is it possible to do this with atom?
if so please give me the command or link!

[sadiebalsom]

I keep getting "permission denied" ... not sure what I am doing wrong

[gamewheels]

“Ln: /usr/local/bin/subl: Permission denied” how do I fix this!?!?!?

[evatrium]

i still get -bash: subl: command not found
:(

[romanbrandt]

WTF -bash: subl: command not found. How can I fix that? I did everything as in the video. /Applications/Sublime\ Text\ - It Works but... subl :(

[RKenshinT]

Does anybody know how to do this for a linux system?
