tl;dr: How to launch editing in Sublime Text from Terminal

Objective

Being able to open Sublime Text directly from terminal in macOS

Prerequisites

For that obviously a running installation of Sublime Text is required.

Check

First we check if in our path, by running echo $PATH, we have included usr/local/bin.

Then, verify that the binary is available at the following location /Applications/Sublime\ Text.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl

Config

We need to create a link of our command in our path, by running the following ln -s /Applications/Sublime\ Text.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl ~/bin/subl

Testing

Trying to open a file in my current directory ~ subl robots.txt and voila.
