sublime-helper is a shell script collection to setup Sublime Text configuration files and command line aliases based on predefined templates.
Contents
Warning: Running install.bash will override existing Sublime Text 2 configs if anything has been changed from the default settings. Please backup your existing configuration files if you want to keep them before running this.
The scripts are compatible with Linux and OSX.
Find your Sublime Text config directory in Sublime Text menu Preferences > Settings - User. Backup everything here.
Install Sublime Text on Linux and extract .tar.bz2 as ~/Sublime Text 2 folder (Sublime Text 2 folder in your home directory).
OTHER INSTALLATION LOCATIONS DON'T WORK on Linux for now.
Use default Sublime Text 2 installation location.
Install Package Control inside Sublime Text.
Open Console in menu View > Show Console.
Copy-paste in:
import urllib2,os; pf='Package Control.sublime-package'; ipp=sublime.installed_packages_path(); os.makedirs(ipp) if not os.path.exists(ipp) else None; urllib2.install_opener(urllib2.build_opener(urllib2.ProxyHandler())); open(os.path.join(ipp,pf),'wb').write(urllib2.urlopen('http://sublime.wbond.net/'+pf.replace(' ','%20')).read()); print('Please restart Sublime Text to finish installation')
Close Sublime Text.
Make sure Sublime Text has Package Control installed (see above) and Sublime Text is closed in this point.
The following will install config importer and shell helpers. This will create sublime-helper folder in your home directory:
sudo apt-get install git # Or your distribution corresponding command cd ~ git clone git://github.com/miohtama/sublime-helper.git ~/sublime-helper/bin/install.bash
Note: Currently supporting only setting up in ~/sublime-helper as path is hardcoded to .bashrc helper
Go to any folder.
Type:
subl .
To open the current folder as a Sublime Text project - you will have sidebar to browse files.
When you start Sublime Text for the first time, after the script has updated Package Control.sublime-settings file, you will get various automatically opening tabs telling you that this and that plugin has been installed.
- Setup .bashrc aliases for subl command.
- Alias nano and gedit to run Sublime Text instead
- Install bunch of packages through Package Control
- Setup sane tab policy
- Misc. settings
- More info in the related blog post
By default, Bash shell .bashrc is fixed to enable subl command. If you are using any other shell please add the command along the following lines to your shell config file:
source $HOME/sublime-helper/bin/sublime-shell-settings
Looks like theme setting export and import causes issues on pristine setup. Theme is not fetched correctly?
Don't try to transfer font setting if the destination font is missing. Setup Source Code Pro manually.
