Rob K. has also been following along with Hartl's Rails Tutorial and wrote in with some issues that he had been having opening files in Sublime Text 2 from the command line.

I'm glad that he had this problem, because I had been meaning to address this when I came across this point myself, but forgot.

Rob and I have both setup our Rails development environments on Windows and have been working primarily with Windows for the Tutorial.

If you, too, are on Windows, this video by Pressed Web will get you setup opening files with Sublime Text 2 from the command line in just a couple of minutes.

NOTE: The video has you use "ST2" as the command line code, while Hartl uses "SUBL". I reccommend Hartl's way, if you're following along with the Tutorial to help avoid confusion. Both options work the same.

If you're on a Mac, I can't say for sure, but Hartl addresses the issue here. I am under the impression, that you just need to follow these basic steps:

Type echo $PATH  from your command line to see if you already have a /bin directory in your path.

If yes, run the line ln -s "/Applications/Sublime Text 2.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl" ~/bin/subl

If no, run the line sudo ln -s "/Applications/Sublime Text 2.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl" /usr/bin/subl from your command prompt.
