Automatically open Sublime Text projects in a directory
I usually start Sublime Text 2 from the command line to work, depending
on the case, on the content of a directory or on a project (materialized
with a *.sublime-project
file).
It ends up with one of the following commands :
subl .
subl my-project.sublime-project
Here is the snippet I added to my .bashrc
file to have the subl
command automatically “guess” what I want. It does the following:
- If a path is given (
subl "my/file.txt"
), it opens the file. - If nothing is given and a
.sublime-project
file exists in the current directory, it opens it - If nothing is given and no
.sublime-project
file has been found, it opens the folder.
bashcopy
function project_aware_subl {
project_file=$(ls *.sublime-project 2>/dev/null | head -n 1)
subl ${*:-${project_file:-.}}
}
alias subl="project_aware_subl"
