Moving From Sublime Text 2 To Text 3

I’ve recently “upgraded” from Sublime Text 2 to Sublime Text 3. Here are some notes about how to get Text 3 setup for better productivity and to keep my Colour Theme.

Installing Add-Ons (Packages)

E.g:

1. CMD + Shift + P
2. Package Control: Install Package
3. GitGutter

Packages installed: GitGutter, BetterCOffeescript, SublimeLinter, SidebarEnhancements, AllAutocomplete, BracketHighlighter

For SublimeLinter: CMD + P Toggle Linter to enable/disable linters.

Copying Colour Theme

This is how I moved my colour theme from Sublime Text 2 to Text 3. It works, but is probably not the best way to do it. If you know of a better way, please leave a comment.

cd /Applications/Sublime\ Text\ 3.app/Contents/MacOS/Packages/
cp Color\ Scheme\ -\ Default.sublime-package ~/Documents/
cd ~/Documents/
unzip Color\ Scheme\ -\ Default.sublime-package -d temp
cd /Users/me_username/Library/Application\ Support/Sublime\ Text\ 2/Packages/Color\ Scheme\ -\ Default/

Make your edits. In my case I copied over my Monokai Faded colour theme file as shown above.

cp Monokai\ Faded.tmTheme ~/Documents/temp
cd ~/Documents/temp

Compress all files in folder to a new archive called Color Scheme - Default.sublime-package

cp ~/Documents/temp/Color\ Scheme\ -\ Default.sublime-package /Applications/Sublime\ Text\ 3.app/Contents/MacOS/Packages/
