I paid for it, but am not using Sublime Text any longer. I now use phpStorm and Webstorm (paid for both, well worth the workflow/efficiency improvements) and Atom for one-off file edits. Just swap 'sudo subl /etc/hosts' with 'sudo atom /etc/hosts' and you're all good! ;]

I was using PHPStorm but stopped using as it adds a big data folder(idea) into the application folder along with several xml files which was messing up my GitHub push. I read some documentation but was not able to figure it out. Any idea how to avoid it? Thank you.

You should create a ~/.gitconfig file that specifies an excludes file for all of your git projects that keeps editor generated files/directories out of your repo. (http://365git.tumblr.com/post/519016351/three-ways-of-exclud...)

Thanks for the information. It was helpful.

No problem!

Just add ".idea/*" to .gitignore in your main directory.

Do I have to create this .gitignore file for each project directory?
