Sublime Text from Command Line


I installed Sublime Text and wanted to know how to open rb files in it from the terminal. I saw What is the command to make Sublime Text my core editor? and I see that I can make Sublime my core editor, but I want to be able to type

sublime file.rb

How do I do this in Windows?


Solution

  • From build 3065 (Release Date: 29 August 2014) onwards Sublime text includes a command line helper, nameley subl.exe. It is at sublime's installation folder: copy it in to a folder included in the system path. For example, in my case I copied it

    from C:\Program Files\Sublime Text 3

    to C:\Windows\System32

    You may then use in your terminal/console subl as a command to open whatever file, such as in your example:

    subl file.rb

    Or you may as well modify your system PATH variable to include sublime's instalation folder, but I believe that is much more involved.
