subl does not open in command line

Question

I am unable to open sublime text from the command line in my mac os. Here is what I did so far

    echo $PATH

My path says /usr/local/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/bin:/Users/sr027976/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p374/bin:/Users/sr027976/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p374@global/bin:/Users/sr027976/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p374/bin:/Users/sr027976/.rvm/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin

ln \-s "/Applications/Sublime Text 2.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl" /usr/local/bin/subl

source ~/.bash_profile

subl .

subl . says command not found.

I am unsure what's wrong here.

Answer 1

Does open -a "Sublime Text 2" opens Sublime Text ? If so, can't you just make an alias alias subl='open -a "Sublime Text 2"' ?

(Don't know if aliases works the same on MacOSX)
