subl for Windows

[mcandre]

Can we please get a proper port of the "subl" command line command for Windows?

Users can almost hack together this, by:

1. Adding the Sublime Text installation directory to PATH.
2. Launching a Git Bash terminal.
3. Calling sublime_text <file or directory> &.
4. Closing the duplicate project window that comes up (Sublime thinks you always want to open the last project).

None of these four things should be things users have to deal with in a proper "subl" command.

* subl.exe's directory should be appended to PATH during Sublime Text installation in Windows.
* subl should fork a thread for itself, returning control to the terminal it was called from.
* subl should not open the last project but only its argument <file or directory>.

Why would you need a command-line for Windows when the Command Prompt is awful?

Why would you need a command-line for Windows when the Command Prompt is awful?

True, but some people are forced to use windows but would still like to be able to do normal things like setting up a batch process that involves the usage of SublimeText. I have no choice but to use windows at work and often create dos batch scripts to help with repetitive tasks. Having good command line access to applications has saved me a lot of time and seriously reduced the risk of human error creeping into some daily tasks that I need to perform.

Command line access will not always be done via the command prompt.
