Answer 1

To open sublime in the same folder you can simply type in your commandline:

subl . 

In order to work you must configure some stuff:

1) To prevent the opening of previous projects you should set the following properties of your Sublime User Settings:

"hot_exit": false,
"remember_open_files": false

2) In order to use subl.exe from anywhere you should add the Sublime folder in the environment variables. I.e. C:\Program Files\Sublime Text 3

Answer 2

I was having trouble opening sublime text 3 with sublime text 2 currently installed. To fix this issue:

1) open /usr/local/bin from terminal.

2) locate and delete subl within bin folder

3) copy and pasted '/Applications/Sublime Text.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl' /usr/local/bin/subl into terminal.

4) locate new subl within bin folder

5) used subl in terminal to verify command opens sublime text 3 properly.

6) used subl -v and got Sublime Text Build 3083

Answer 3

For Linux and MacOs users and Sublime Text 3 Try the command : subl3

Answer 4

I've had this issue before, on both Mac OSX and Windows, and I found some oddities with it;

Mac OSX You either have to have Sublime Text open already for the subl ./folder_name command to actually open the folder, or Sublime must have been quit with windows still open - if you close all the windows then quit Sublime, using the subl ./folder_name command will just open a blank Sublime window.

Windows You have to have Sublime open for the subl ./folder_name to work. Without Sublime open, it will just open a blank Sublime window.

I've yet to find a way of the command opening fine, no matter how you quit Sublime / when you have Sublime closed.

Try having Sublime open whilst you run the command, and see if it works then.
