Launch sublime text 3 in git bash from windows path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Sublime Text 3

Question

I need to run sublime 3 on windows 10. Sublime installation directory is: C:\Program Files (x86)\Sublime Text 3.

I tried these;

$ c:/Program\ Files\(\x86\)/Sublime\ Text\ 3/sublime_text.exe $ c:/Program\ Files\ (x86)/Sublime\ Text\ 3/sublime_text.exe $ c:/Program\ Files(x86)/Sublime\ Text\ 3/sublime_text.exe;

I get syntax error, and No such file or directory on several attempts.

I think the first of these was very close to correct, you just didn't need to escape the 'x'. C:/Program\ Files$x86$/Sublime\ Text\ 3/sublime_text.exe Did you ever try that version? — AJM

This is what i did.

Create a file .bash_profile under C:\Users\UserName

In .bash_profile file i typed it as

alias 'subl= "/c/Program Files/Sublime Text 3/subl.exe"'

Double-Quote the path and remove all back-slashes (\) , i.e.:

$ "D:\Program Files\Sublime Text 3\sublime_text.exe"

I had my path like this: $ "c:\Program Files (x86)\Sublime Text 3\Sublime_text.exe" I worked just fine and launched sublime text from my x86 folder. Thanks.

To add alias to .bash_profile while using git bash: alias subl="'c:\Program Files (x86)\Sublime Text 3\sublime_text.exe'" The path should be in both double and single quotes
