Did you symlink Sublime settings to dotfiles?

[nikitavoloboev]

I think it does. The config file seems really nice to use. Thank you.

Hm, I am just using dotbot to handle linking.
And it is using os.symlink(source, destination).
Which creates symbolic links: https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#os.symlink

Could you please share ls -l of your home folder and sublime root folder?

Yeap, your folder is not synced to the original config folder. Here's mine:

» ls -l "$HOME/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/User"
lrwxr-xr-x 1 sobolev staff 38 июн 21  2017 '/Users/sobolev/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/User' -> /Users/sobolev/.dotfiles/sublime3-conf

How did you made your installation?

[nikitavoloboev]

I am actually looking for a way to automate it.

Currently I manually symlink each of the files. I moved the original files to ~/.dotfiles/.. and then made a symbolic link from that file to the original destination so original destination has the symlink.

I am wondering how I can automate it so it works well.

Does https://github.com/sobolevn/dotfiles#installation work for you?

Glad you liked it!
