Hi HN - Jon Skinner here, I made Sublime Text and Sublime Merge, alongside the rest of the Sublime HQ programming team - Will, Dylan and Benjamin. Let me know if you have any questions! Edit: there's also the announcement blog post, at https://www.sublimetext.com/blog/articles/sublime-merge

Looks great!

Is there any roadmap somewhere so we know what to expect in the future?

Are you also moving Sublime Text to a subscription license for businesses?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Interactive rebase is absolutely coming (you can already edit commit messages and squash commits). UI support for Git Flow is going to depend on user feedback. I expect we will eventually, but even if not, we will be adding a plugin API, and it would naturally be doable via that.

Also, if you can rename all these opaque commands to be more user friendly :) even if this means adding more commands, I think it’s worth it. “Rebase” should be the first victim

Alas, one of our key principles is to not hide or rename anything in Git, so your knowledge from using Git on the command line transfers to and from Sublime Merge.

Looks great! I was using Fork before, but prefer the clean UI of Sublime Merge so far.

Here's how to create a shortcut to the smerge command (Mac), which I didn't see documented anywhere:

ln -s "/Applications/Sublime Merge.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/smerge" /usr/local/bin/smerge

Looks great Jon, happy you are expanding the Sublime family. Can I suggest Sublime Terminal as a possible addition? I'd happily pay for a decent terminal experience on Windows and with your cross platform toolkit it looks like you could deliver that. ConEmu et al just don't do it for me.

This would be great.

I would keep an eye out on alacritty. It's a blazingly fast gpu-accelerared terminal emulator for Unix (currently) written in rust. According to their 0.2.0 announcement post, where they added scrollback support, Windows is next on the Roadmap.

Just search your inbox for "sublime license", and copy the license into Sublime. The whole operation takes me below 1 minute on a new machine.

It'd be nice if there was a command line option for this actually. I have my machine setup almost entirely automated, but this is one of the manual steps I have to do.

As far as I know, it used to be just a matter of writing the plaintext license into the appropriate file: https://forum.sublimetext.com/t/license-installation-silentl...

+1, windows is unusable without a good terminal - my current favorite is ConEmu but it comes with some quirks.
