Sync your Sublime Text 3 Settings using iCloud Drive on multiple Macs

Sync your Sublime Text 3 Settings using iCloud Drive on multiple Macs

# Notes

# Using iCloud Drive, you can sync your Sublime Text 3 
# plugins and prefs so you can always have the same setup

# Prerequisites
# Make sure both machines have the latest version of OSX 10.10.x with 
# Yosemite or higher and iCloud Drive turned on

# Quit ST3
# Pick a machine with ST3 that has the latest setup you want to start with
# Run step 1 and wait for your iCloud files to sync across the network

# Run step 2 on other machine(s) to duplicate the same settings
# Open up ST3 on the new machines and wait while ST3 updates your packages

# If you're using any system wide packages on the host machine 
# (e.g. those installed via npm i -g) be sure to replicate them on the 
# host machine(s) as well

# If your ST3 doesn't have Package Control make sure to install it
# https://packagecontrol.io/installation

# Step 1) run this on the host mac that has the latest ST3 settings & packages
cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/Sublime\ Text\ 3/Packages
mkdir -p ~/Library/Mobile\ Documents/com\~apple\~CloudDocs/WebDev/ST3/Plugins
mv User ~/Library/Mobile\ Documents/com\~apple\~CloudDocs/WebDev/ST3/Plugins
ln -s ~/Library/Mobile\ Documents/com\~apple\~CloudDocs/WebDev/ST3/Plugins/User

# Optional backup the User folder on the agent mac before wiping it out
cp -R ~/Library/Application\ Support/Sublime\ Text\ 3/Packages/User ~/User

# Steps 2) run this on your agent machine(s) you want mirroring the mac from step 1
cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/Sublime\ Text\ 3/Packages
rm -rf User
ln -s ~/Library/Mobile\ Documents/com\~apple\~CloudDocs/WebDev/ST3/Plugins/User
