Question

I am working on Sublime Text 2 at home and at work. I need the same configuration on both computers. When I change something at home, I want to see this change at work and vice versa. I think I can do something like that with Dropbox?

I need to share user configuration, user bindings, snippest and plugins installed by Package Control. How can I share the configuration between two computers and more?

Answer 1

I recommend putting your files in Dropbox or any similar file-syncing service.

(I do exactly this with AutoHotKey scripts, and it works really well.)

There is a thread on the SublimeText forum that asks the same question, and in there, an answer refers to the page Using Dropbox to synchronise Sublime Text settings across Windows computers, saying “I don’t have any issue with this method.”

Other suggestions mentioned in that thread are:

• Keeping your configuration in an online version-control system (such as GitHub or Bitbucket) – but it warns “some plugins does contain some private infos (SFTP plugin, for example, keeps its license into the user’s folder)”
• “For whatever it’s worth, I use the Windows portable version and dump the whole of it into my Dropbox.”
• Using a shell script to do the sync between OS X and Linux
