Launch sublime text 3 from command line in mac

An executable file to open the sublime editor is already contained in the Sublime directory itself. By default this is not added to your $PATH, in your command-line interpreter.

So add that executable file to one of the directory that included in $PATH.

$ ln -s /Applications/Sublime\ Text.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl /usr/local/bin/sublime

Here ‘/usr/local/bin/’ is present in my $PATH

Then take sublime as following:

$ sublime ~/projects/my-app

Here ‘~/projects/my-app’ is your application path.
