Question

What I have:

{
  "cmd": ["git add . && git commit -m 'deploy' && git push && cap deploy"],
  "working_dir": "${project_path:${folder}}"
}

This command works in the terminal but not via Ctrl+B in Sublime Text 2.

Answer 1

The cmd entry expects an array of each token in the the command instead of the entire command string. It’s better explained by an example. In your case:

"cmd": ["git", "add", ".", "&&", "git", "commit", "-m", "'deploy'", "&&", "git", "push", "&&", "cap", "deploy"]

However, a better approach is to create a separate script deploy.sh that performs all these tasks for you, then call that script for your sublime build file.

deploy.sh:

#!/bin/bash
git add . && git commit -m 'deploy' && git push && cap deploy

deploy.sublime_build:

{
  "cmd": ["deploy"],
  "working_dir": "${project_path:${folder}}"
}
