MacOS - How to run Sublime Text from command line

There is an assumption that you have bin directory in your home dir and it is registered somewhere in the $PATH variable.

In that case you simply have to create a symlink:

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

Tha’s all, now you can start Sublime Text from console simply typing:

subl


In case if you don’t have ~/bin directory - create it:

mkdir ~/bin

And add to your ~/.bash_profile following line:

export PATH=$PATH:~/bin


ALSO the following plugin is seuper-duper useful: https://packagecontrol.io/packages/Compare%20Side-By-Side

CMD + Shift + P -> package Control: Install Package -> Compare Side-By-Side

I need it as air!
