32,636 PointsI give up on getting Git to interact with Sublime Text
Is there any good way to get a hold of one of the teachers at Treehouse that may be able to help me out?
I've tried everything i could read and asked a ton of places. So far its not working.
Thanks

Courses Plus Student 7,323 PointsWhat exactly is it you're trying to do here? Do you want to use Git commands directly from within Sublime Text? If so, have you installed Sublime Package Manager and used that to install the 'Git' package that allows you to do so?
Kris Byrum
32,636 Pointsi'd like to either use Git commands within Sublime OR what might be good is to access Sublime in Git similar to either nano README or notepad README.
I've already read a ton of other forums posts, how-to and such about it. I've tried a as many as I could including adding the Sublime Package Manager for Git. However, when I attempt to grab the status I get an error message about the executable.
In Git the error message I get is that subl does not exist.
i'm newer using all of these programs, however I catch on quick. I still can't figure it out and I'm looking for detailed instructions on how to install and config them for use.

Kris Byrum
32,636 PointsYeah. You need to add a Dos Key
Paste the following code into the command line. Just switch the path to the correct path to the .exe file if yours is in a different place.
Also, if you're using Sublime text 3, make sure you update the path to that instead of 2.
doskey subl="C:\Program Files\Sublime Text 2\sublime_text.exe"

32,636 PointsInteresting. Here is where i got the code from.

Maybe try using the comand prompt instead of the Git one. Not sure if that will matter.
Also, double check the path to make sure you didn't put it someplace else by mistake when installing it.

20,160 PointsThanks I will give it a try!
Kris Byrum
32,636 PointsIt should work if you use the command prompt window. I use Cmdr as Treehouse recommended and it worked for me.

20,160 PointsEUREKA! Thank you Kris Byrum.

20,160 PointsAt least it is popping up in the Windows command line. I am still trying to get it to work in GIT bash. But this is encouraging.
