Github desktop open in sublime, not atom

In GitHub Desktop, is there any way to change the right click "Open in Atom" option, to instead be "Open in Sublime" or some other text editor?

Thanks!

    They finally added an option in the Preferences:

    Old answer for GitHub App Classic (Native)

    GitHub looks for /Applications/Atom.app when clicking on "Open in Atom", so you just need to rename your editor to Atom.app, or...

    Create a dummy app that opens Sublime. You can download the app that I made with Automator or make one yourself:

    1. In Automator, select Application
    2. Add the action Run Shell Script
    3. Select As arguments in the Pass input dropdown
    4. Enter this: /Applications/Sublime\ Text.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl "$@"
    5. Save it as Atom in the Applications folder.

    Expected Automator file

    Now "Open in Atom" should simply "Open in Sublime Text"
